Question

Which pin of DINION Starlight 8000 should be used to connect to an external device using RS485?

Answer

Please note the following information:

• Tx+ and Tx- are used to transmit information (T – transmitter)
• Rx+ and Rx- are used to receive information (R – receiver)

Depending on the case, you can use the RS pins in various scenarios.

In this case, if you wish to send information from the camera to an external device, you must use the Tx pins.

The easiest way to verify the functionality of the output is to connect a LED to the Tx+ and Tx- of the camera.

Please take note of the anode (+) and cathode (-) of the LED, otherwise there might be a risk of misuse
