Preface
Compliance and Safety Standards
Appendix A: “Safety Precautions, Certifications, and Compliances” contains
product compliance and safety standards.
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliance
Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU)
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain
substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this
legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of
landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life
recycling. The Directive takes effect on July 1, 2006, and it refers to the
following hazardous substances:
• Lead (Pb)
•Mercury(Hg)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be
fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our website for more information
on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and
upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation.
Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a
RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure P-1.
Figure P-1. RoHS Compliance Emblem
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery,
and recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the
WEEE Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated
hazardous waste to either the producers or users of these products. Effective
August 13, 2005, producers or users will be required to recycle electrical and
electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the
equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU
member states may have different deadlines.)

SPT-LXYTOXY Installation and Configuration Manual ix
Preface
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic
devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be prop-
erly recycled. (See our website for more information on dates and deadlines for
compliance.) Contact your local sales representative for information on return-
ing these products for recycling. Equipment that complies with the EU directive
will be marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure P-2.
Figure P-2. WEEE Compliance Emblem
Safety
Carefully review all safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to
this product or any products connected to it. You will find a complete list of
safety precautions in Appendix A. Any user-serviceable components (such as
fuses or batteries) are only replaceable by those components listed in the
manual.
IMPORTANT! Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.

Introduction
Overview
The SPT serial protocol translator is a compact adapter that translates between
Harris protocol and protocols used by other manufacturers or equipment. The
SPT can be used to integrate otherwise incompatible devices in a system, and it
may be used to expand a system beyond the normal limitations imposed by
hardware or system design. The SPT is available in several modes, each of
which is covered in a separate manual. For a complete list of available models,
refer to the SPT Applications Guide.

2 SPT-LXYTOXY Installation and Configuration Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction
Applications Involving the SPT-LXYTOXY
The SPT-LXYTOXY can be used to allow remote control of a Harris router
using X-Y control panels. In this application, the SPT translates from X-Y
protocol to the RS-232 required by the modem and then translates from RS-232
back to X-Y on the remote site. Using another SPT-LXYTOXY on the remote
site allows the modem connection to filter out the “random characters/noise.”
The SPT-LXYTOXY does not communicate with the modem, it expects the
modem connection to look like a “wired” connection. Therefore, the
SPT-LXYTOXY should not be used when a dial-up connection is required,
unless the modem pairs hide this function from the SPT-LXYTOXY. For further
information on dial-up modem protocol, see “Protocol Notes” on page 13.
