GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The G307K2 is the perfect solution for applications that require the operator
to monitor and control more than just a single device. With three serial ports and
an Ethernet port, the 7" Kadet 2 can connect to multiple serial and Ethernet
devices simultaneously, including PLCs, motor drives, bar code scanners, etc.

The G307K2 performs the functions of a multiple protocol converter, using
three high-speed RS-232/422/485 communications ports and a 10 Base-T
Ethernet port. The Ethernet port supports up to four protocols simultaneously,
allowing dissimilar Ethernet based products to communicate with one another.

The SD card slot can be used to load the unit's configuration file, allowing
configuration changes to be made and saved to the card for later transfer.

The G3 Kadet 2 range of HMIs is programmed with Red Lion's free Crimson
3 software. Crimson offers easy to use drag and drop communications
configuration, while the embedded image library allows the programmer to
create intuitive screens and prompts for the operator.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.

CONTENTS OF PACKAGE

- G307K2 Operator Interface.

- Hardware packet for mounting unit into panel.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

The unit can be mounted into enclosures with a depth of 4". It is recommended
that the unit be mounted on the front panel of a steel enclosure. Allow clearance
of 1" around the sides of the unit for the mounting hardware. Allow 2.5" along
the bottom edge if using Red Lion communication cables.

Place the unit in the panel cutout. Slide clamps into the four holes provided
at the top and bottom of the case. Tighten the clamping screws in an even pattern
until the unit is secured in the panel. Caution: Do not over tighten the clamps.
To seal to NEMA4 specifications, all supplied mounting clamps must be used.
(Torque is 2.6 – 3.5 in/lb.) The panel must not flex more than 0.010".

CONNECTING POWER

A

The G307K2 requires a 24 VDC ±20% power supply. Please take care to

observe the following points:

- The wire used to connect the operator interface’s power supply should
be at least 22-gage wire. If a longer cable run is used, a heavier gage
wire should be used. The routing of the cable should be kept away from
large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may generate
significant electrical noise.

- A power supply with a Class 2 or SELV rating is to be used. A Class 2 or
SELV power supply provides isolation to accessible circuits from
hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to
single faults. SELV is an acronym for “safety extra-low voltage.”
Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall exhibit voltages safe to touch
both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault, such as
a breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a single
component has occurred.

communIcatIng wIth the g307K2

The G307K2 has three serial ports, as well as an Ethernet port. The serial
ports are exposed via one DB9 male connector, and one DB9 female connector.
You may assign one unique protocol to each of the ports for a total of three
different serial protocols.

Note: If you assign a protocol to the Programming Port, you will no longer
be able to download. You should create a means to call the StopSystem()
function from the HMI touchscreen, such that the Programming Port activity
can be halted on command. Alternatively, the HMI's memory can be cleared to
restore download functionality.

The Ethernet port can be programmed to communicate via four protocols
simultaneously. For more information on protocol support, please refer to the
Crimson 3 programming software.

CRIMSON SOFTWARE

Crimson software is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website or
it can be purchased on a CD, see “Ordering Information” for part number. The
latest version of the software is always available from the website, and updating
your copy is free.

TOUCHSCREEN

The unit will only produce an audible tone (beep) when a touch on an active
touchscreen cell is sensed. The touchscreen is fully functional as soon as the
operator interface is initialized, and can be operated with gloved hands.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The G307K2 uses one CR2032 coin type lithium battery to maintain the RTC
(real-time clock) and for proper Ethernet download operation. To change the
battery, remove power, cabling, and then the rear cover of the unit. Remove the
old battery from the holder and replace with a new battery*. Replace the rear
cover, cables, and re-apply power. Set the RTC to the proper date and time.

* Please note that the old battery must be disposed of in a manner that
complies with your local waste regulations. Also, the battery must not be
disposed of in fire, or in a manner whereby it may be damaged and its contents
come into comtact with human skin.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR G307K2

If for any reason you have trouble operating, connecting, or simply have
questions concerning your new G307K2, contact Red Lion’s technical support.
For contact information, refer to the front page of this bulletin for phone and
fax numbers.

CAUTION: The circuit board contains static sensitive
components. Before handling the operator interface without the
rear cover attached, discharge static charges from your body by
touching a grounded bare metal object. Ideally, handle the
operator interface at a static controlled clean workstation. Also,
do not touch the surface areas of the circuit board. Dirt, oil, or
other contaminants may adversely affect circuit operation.

CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
