CHAPTER 8
CONNECTIVITIES
his chapter covers the receptacles, cables, and other connectors that are part of
each Geodesic Sensor Net. Before connecting or disconnecting GSN components,
please be sure you have read Chapter 4, "Safety.” Regularly check cables and
connectors for wear or damage.
WARNING!:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, discontinue use of worn or
damaged electrical connectors and cables.
GSN and GSNIC
The multipin connector on the GSN is a Hypertronics plug with a custom pinout. The
GSNIC features a Hypertronics receptacle for connecting a GSN, and a single or
double Hypertronics plug at its other end. Do not link the Hypertronics connectors to
any device, interface cable, or interconnector except as described in this manual.
Pinout tables for these connectors are located in Appendix C, "GSN Pinouts.”
Hypertronics Connector
EGI’s Nets use half-turn, quick-disconnect multicontact connectors with Hypertac
high-performance, low-insertion-force, gold-plated contacts (Figure 8-1 shows the
receptacle; Figure 8-2 shows the plug).
