Required Tools and Equipment

Have the following tools and equipment ready:

• medium blade screwdriver

• termination kit (the package, containing resistors and a ring lug, which was

included with the scanner)

• approximately 38 cm (15 inches) of #20 AWG wire for grounding the drain

shield to the SLC chassis (for Series A retrofits)

• adequate length of RIO communication cable (Belden™ 9463) for your

specific application

RIO Link Wiring

The scanner is connected to other devices on the RIO link in a daisy-chain (serial)

configuration. There are no restrictions governing the space between each device,

provided the maximum cable distance (Belden 9463) is not exceeded. A 1/2 watt

terminating resistor (included with the module) must be attached across line 1 and

line 2 of the connectors at each end (scanner and last physical device) of the RIO

link. The size of the resistor depends on the baud rate and extended node

capability, as shown in the table below.

Note: To use extended node, all devices on the RIO link must support it. Refer to

each device’s user manual.
