Description

The Remote Keyswitch and RS-232 Port Assembly consists of a Mode
Select Keyswitch and an RS-232 port installed in a housing. This assembly
can be mounted in a location that provides easier access than the keyswitch
and port on the rear of the PanelView terminal.

The assembly is attached to a 10 foot (3 m) cable that connects to the
RS-232 serial interface port on the rear of the PanelView terminal. It must
be mounted with the attached gasket, washers, and screw-on cap. The cap
must be fastened to one of the mounting screws with the chain provided.
When not in use, the cap protects the assembly to maintain a NEMA 4X
rating (indoor use only).
