2.4.8 Digital I/O
The Digital I/O port, J5 connector (Section 2.5 on page 11), provides a connection to both digital inputs and outputs.
Digital inputs can be set to provide many functions, including most keypad functions except MENU, numeric keypad and
softkeys. Digital inputs are active low (0 VDC) and inactive high (5 VDC). Use the Digital I/O menu to configure the digital inputs.
Digital outputs are used to control relays which drive other equipment. Outputs are designed to sink, rather than source current.
Each output is an open collector circuit, capable of sinking 20 mA when active. Digital outputs are active when low or at 0 VDC,
with reference to the 5 VDC supply.
Use the Digital I/O menu to set the function of the Digital I/O pins to OUTPUT and then use the Setpoints menu to configure the
digital outputs. See Table 2-9 for the pin assignments for the J5 connector.
2.4.9 Memory Card Slot
The memory card slot, J6 connector (Section 2.5 on page 11), accepts microSD cards and provides storage space for
configuration settings (Section 12.3 on page 85) and Truck IDs. The 682 comes with an 8 GB microSD card (PN 164939) and
the memory card slot supports up to a 2 TB microSD card.
2.4.10 Micro USB Device Communications
The Micro USB port, J7 connector (Section 2.5 on page 11), provides a connection point to a PC only. It appears as a Virtual
COM Port and is assigned a “COMx” designation. Applications communicate through the port like a standard RS-232
communications port.
The driver must be installed on the PC before the Micro USB device port can be used. With the PC and 682 powered on, connect
a USB cable from the PC to the Micro USB connector (J7) on the 682. The PC recognizes if a device has been connected, and
attempts to install the driver needed to make it work. The driver can also be downloaded from www.ricelake.com
.
NOTE: With a PC connected to the Internet and running Windows 7 or later, the operating system may install the drivers
automatically.
When the individual drivers are installed, a new COM Port designation is assigned for each physical USB port the 682 is
connected to on the PC.
For example, if the PC has two physical RS-232 COM Ports, they most likely are designated COM1 and COM2. When
connecting the 682 to a USB port on the PC, it is assigned the next available port designation, or in this case, COM3. When
plugging into the same physical USB port on the PC, the port designation is again COM3. If plugging into another physical USB
port on the PC, it is assigned the next available designation, in this case COM4.
After the drivers are installed, use Windows® Device Manager to determine the COM Port designation which was assigned to
the USB port, or open an application to be used with the 682, such as Revolution, to see which ports are available.
Configuration of the Micro USB port is done in the USBCOM sub-menu under PORTS in Setup mode.
The port can be configured as either a command (CMD) port for EDP commands and printing, or as a data streaming port.
Other settings include termination character(s), echoes, responses and end-of-line delay (Section 4.5.4.2 on page 38).
NOTE: If a computer application has an open communications connection through the Micro USB device port and the
physical cable connection is interrupted, a soft reset must be performed on the 682 or the power must be cycled to the 682;
the connection in the computer application must be disconnected and then reconnected before it continues to
communicate with the 682.
NOTE: For the Micro USB device port, it does not matter what the settings are for baud, data bits, parity and stop bits in the
computer software. The port communicates in the same way regardless of these settings.
NOTE: This port is not a host port and is not to be connected to other devices such as keyboards, memory sticks or printers.

The 682 features Ethernet TCP/IP 10Base-T/100Base-TX communication using the J8 connector (Section 2.5 on page 11), and
can support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other as a client. An external RJ45 option is available.
Through an Ethernet network, software applications can communicate with the 682 using the EDP command set (Section 12.0
on page 84), or data can be streamed continuously from the 682, or printed on demand.
The Ethernet port supports both DHCP and manual configuration of settings such as the IP and netmask. In addition, the TCP
Port number and the Default Gateway can be configured using the Ethernet sub-menu of the Ports setup menu. For more
information on configuring the Ethernet port see Section 4.5.4.3 on page 39.
Physical connection to the 682 Ethernet port can be made directly from a PC to the 682 (AdHoc Network), or through a network
router or switch. The port supports auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cable configuration, allowing either straight-through or crossover
cables to be used. See Table 2-10 for the pin assignments for the J8 connector.
NOTE: When looking into the enclosure from the backside of the indicator, pin 1 of the J8 connector is at the bottom.
See Table 2-11 and Table 2-12 for the pin assignments when connecting an RJ45 Ethernet cable to the J8 connector.
There are two Ethernet wire standards (T568A and T568B). If the type of cable is unknown, use the wiring option in Table 2-11.
The auto-sensing feature of the Ethernet port allows either of the wiring options to work. Trim the unused wires to get them
out of the way.

2.6 Backplate Attachment
Once work inside of the enclosure is complete, reattach the backplate ground wire to the backplate. Position the backplate over
the enclosure and install the ten backplate screws. Use the torque pattern in Figure 2-11 to prevent distorting the backplate
gasket. Torque screws to 12 in-lb (1.4 N-m).
Figure 2-11. Backplate Torque Pattern
NOTE: Torqued screws may become less tight as the gasket is compressed during the torque pattern; a second torque is
required using the same pattern and torque value.
2.7 Sealing the Indicator (Optional)
Insert a lead wire seal through three fillister screws. This restricts access of the setup switch, electronics, electrical contacts and
Legal for Trade configuration parameters.
NOTE: The audit jumper (J24) must be set to off to require pressing the setup switch for access to configuration
parameters. See Section 2.5 on page 11 for the location of the audit jumper on the CPU board.
Figure 2-12. Sealing the Indicator – No Access
1. Reposition the two fillister head backplate screws to the lower right and lower right-center screws locations.
2. Torque the two backplate screws and setup screw as specified in Section 2.4.2 on page 7.
3. Navigate the sealing wire through the fillister head screws on the backplate and the fillister head screw at the bottom of
the enclosure, as shown in Figure 2-12.
4. Seal the wire to secure.
