2.5 Cable Connections
The LaserLight3 arrives pre-wired with connections from the CPU board to the display boards, CPU board to keypad, CPU
board to power supply and power cord to power supply.
A data source from an external device must be received by the Remote Display via RS-232 (Section 2.6.3 on page 17), RS-
485/422 (Section 2.6.8 on page 20 ) , 20 mA (Section 2.6.4 on page 17 ) , Ethernet (Section 2.6.7 on page 19 ) or Wi-Fi (factory
installed option).
2.5.1 Cord Grips
The LaserLight3 remote display provides three cord grips located on the underside of the enclosure; one for the supplied A/C
power cord and two for load cell or communication cables. Cable plugs are included in the parts kit and must be installed in
open cord grips to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. See the following sections to install cables as required for the
application.
IMPORTANT: Ensure stripped portion of cables are entirely inside cord grips. Properly seal cord grips to prevent moisture
damage inside of the enclosure. Cable plugs must be installed in unused cord grips. Cord grips have a clamping range of
0.197-0.472 in (5.0-12.0 mm).

2.6.3 RS-232 Serial Communications
The J3 connector (Section 2.7 on page 21) is intended to provide a connection point for the RS-232 serial communications.
Two RS-232 ports are available. See Figure 2-11 for the pin assignments for the J3 connector.
Figure 2-11. CPU Board RS-232 Connector (J3)
2.6.4 RS-485/422 Serial Communications
The J4 connector (Section 2.7 on page 21) is intended to provide a connection point for the RS-485/422 serial communications.
Both full duplex (four-wire) and half duplex (two-wire) are supported through the J4 connector. See Figure 2-12 for the pin
assignments for the J4 connector.

2.6.5 Digital I/O
The Digital I/O port, J5 connector (Section 2.7 on page 21) can be configured as an input or an output.
Digital inputs can be set to provide many functions, including most keypad functions except MENU. 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 24 mA (max) 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 Figure 2-13 for the pin assignments for the J5 connector.
NOTE: An output is wired to ground (P2) and the first available DIO pin, while an input is wired to +5VDC (P1) and first
available DIO pin.
Figure 2-13. CPU Board DIO Connector (J5)
2.6.6 Micro USB Device Communications
The Micro USB port, J7 connector, is intended to be connected 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.
With the PC and LaserLight3 powered on, connect a USB cable from the PC to the micro USB connector (J7) on the LaserLight3.
A new COM Port designation is assigned for each physical USB port the LaserLight3 is connected to on the PC.
WARNING: Use a grounding wrist strap to protect components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) when working inside the
enclosure or on the front door.
For example, if the PC has four physical COM Ports with two are in use, they most likely are designated COM1 and COM2.
When connecting the LaserLight3 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.
Use Windows® Device Manager to determine the COM Port designation which was assigned to the USB port, or open the
application to be used with the LaserLight3, such as Revolution, to see which ports are available.
Configuration of the Micro USB port is done in the USB sub-menu under Communication in Setup mode. If Remote In is set,
other features (such as sending EDP commands) are disabled.
The port can be configured as either a demand port for EDP commands and printing, or as a data streaming port (Remote In
parameter).
NOTE: This port is not a host port and is not intended to be connected to other devices such as keyboards, memory sticks
or printers.
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 (short J30 momentarily) must be performed on the LaserLight3 or the
power must be cycled to the LaserLight3; the connection in the computer application must be disconnected and then
reconnected before it continues to communicate with the LaserLight3.
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.

2.6.7 Ethernet TCP/IP
The LaserLight3 features Ethernet TCP/IP 10Base-T/100Base-TX communication using the J8 connector (Section 2.7 on
page 21), and can support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other as a client.
Through an Ethernet network, software applications can communicate with the LaserLight3 using the EDP command set
(Section 7.0 on page 70), or data can be streamed continuously from the LaserLight3, 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 5.2.1.3 on page 57.
Physical connection to the LaserLight3 Ethernet port can be made directly from a PC to the LaserLight3 (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 Figure 2-15 for the pin assignments for the J8 connector.
Figure 2-15. CPU Board Ethernet Connector (J8)
See Table 2-6 and Table 2-7 for the pin assignments when connecting a 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 2-6. The auto-
sensing feature of the Ethernet port allows either of the wiring options to function. Trim unused wires.

2.6.8 20 mA
The J11 connector (Section 2.7 on page 21) is intended to provide a connection point for the 20 mA current loop passive
communications. See Figure 2-16 for the pin assignments for the J11 connector.

2.6.9 Keypad and Ambient Light Sensor
The keypad with integrated ambient light sensor connects to J16 on the CPU board. The keypad provides the functional buttons
that interface with LaserLight3 (see Section 3.2 on page 29).
The ambient light sensor adjusts the brightness of the display in relation to configured Bright parameters. For more information
about ambient light sensor parameters, see Section 5.2.6 on page 63.
NOTE: The LaserLight3 defaults to the Night setting if the sensor is faulty or absent.
2.6.10 RF Interference
A cylindrical EMI filter is pre-installed on LED power cables (J15 and J17) and two rectangular EMI filters are pre-installed on
the LED data cable (HUB75) to eliminate RF interference.
