Wiring and Connections
RS-232 Pinouts
Note:
CTS/RTS handshaking is supported for flow control based on the
profile used in the configuration.
RJ-45 to DB9 Adapters
Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout
Application Note located on the Savant Community for more
information on RJ-45 to DB9 adapters offered by Savant.
Note:
The SSC-0012 does not support RS-422/485.
IR Wiring
IR connections are made using 6-pin Screw Down Plug-in
Connectors supplied with controller. The wire slips into the hole and
locks with the screw located at the top of the connector.
IMPORTANT! IR Wiring Precautions
•Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from
the controllers location.
•Use of 3rd party flashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away
from the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.
IR Port Connector Pinout
Note:
While not shown in the diagram above, IR connections 4 to 6 follow
the same wiring as 1 to 3.
GPIO and Relay Wiring
GPIO Connector Pinout Relay Connector Pinout
GPIO Pull Down Resistor (PD) Usage
GPIO pins are configured as inputs and are pulled high to 12V while
the host is booting up. To make the GPIO signal low during a host
reboot and/or a power cycle, attach the GPIO 1 pin to the PD pin.
The PD pin is a 1K ohm pull down resistor (to signal ground)which
keeps the GPIO output below 0.8V during processor boot times.
Network Requirements
Savant requires the use of business class/commercial grade network
equipment throughout the network to ensure the reliability of
communication between devices. These higher quality components
also allow for more accurate troubleshooting when needed.
Device Network Connections
Connect all Savant devices to the same local area network (LAN) or
subnet as the host. Savant recommends not implementing any type
of traffic or packet shaping in your network topology for the Savant
devices as this may interfere with performance.
Managing IP Addresses
To ensure that the IP Address will not change due to a power
outage, a static IP Address or DHCP reservation should be
configured. Savant recommends using DHCP reservation within the
router. By using this method, static IP Addresses for all devices can
be managed from a single UI avoiding the need to access devices
individually.
Setting DHCP Reservation
Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the
documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation.
Network Changes
Savant recommends performing one of the following steps to
refresh the IP connection after connecting to a new network,
changing routers, or if the IP Address range is changed in the
current router. This will reset any IP connection and ensure that the
host is communicating with the network correctly.
•Cycle Power
Disconnect the controller from the AC power source for 15
seconds and then reconnect.
•Hot Plug the Ethernet (LAN) Connection
Disconnect the Ethernet (LAN) connection from the controller
for 15 seconds and then reconnect.

Community for additional information.
