Connecting Devices Via A Cable Connection; Connections Xext1/Xext2 - Dräger X-zone 5500 Notice D'utilisation

5 Connecting devices via a cable
connection
CAUTION
!
Before positioning the devices, a functional test (see
Chapter 3.4 on Page 43) must be conducted on every
device.
X-zone devices must always be connected from XEXT1
to XEXT2.
NOTICE
i i
Due to diverse customer requirements, Dräger offers
only a communication cable (order no. 83 21 669). All
relevant cable parameters are described in this
chapter.
If radio connections are not allowed or blocked, the
devices can be connected via communication cable.
The maximum cable length between two devices is
25 m.
Combined wireless and cable operation is possible.

1. Switch on the X-zone (see Chapter 3.1 on Page 41).
2. Plug the communication cable into the charging port/
RS485 connection (XEXT1)(1) on the rear side of the
device.
3. Connect the end of the communication cable to the switch
relay/RS485 connection (XEXT2) (2) of the second device.
The communications
LEDs on the coupled
devices light up green.

CAUTION
!
Use connection XEXT2 either for the relay output (pin
4, 5, 6) or the RS485 port (pin 1, 2, 3). Using the same
connections for both applications at the same time is
not permitted.
