4. Attach the RIO link cable to the connector on the front of the module,
behind the door. Ground the cable’s shield wire to a chassis mounting
bracket. Refer to the RIO link wiring illustration on page 9.
5. Insert the cable tie in the slots.
6. Route the cable down and away from module, securing it with the cable tie.
7. Cover all unused slots with the Card Slot Filler, Catalog Number 1746-N2.
Removal

RIO Link Wiring
The scanner is connected to other devices on the RIO link in a daisy chain (serial)
configuration. There are no restrictions governing the space between each device,
provided the maximum cable distance (Belden™ 9463) is not exceeded. A 1/2 watt
terminating resistor (included with the module) must be attached across line 1 and
line 2 of the connectors at each end (scanner and last physical device) of the RIO
link. The size of the resistor depends on the baud rate and extended node
capability, as shown in the table below.
Note: To use extended node, all devices on the RIO link must support it. Refer to
each device’s user manual.
