3.2.11 RS232 COMMUNICATIONS
The 9-pin RS232 serial port located on the front panel is used in conjunction with the 750/760PC software for programming
setpoints and upgrading relay firmware. A standard 9-pin RS232 cable is used to connect the relay to a personal computer
as shown below. When downloading new firmware, make sure the relay address is set to 1 and the baud rate is set to 9600.

3.2.12 IRIG-B
IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows time stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices
within 1 millisecond. The IRIG time code formats are serial, width-modulated codes which can be either DC level shift or
amplitude modulated (AM) form. Third party equipment is available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment may
use a GPS satellite system to obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can also be syn-
chronized.
