STE-6000 Series Room Temperature Sensors 4 Applications Guide
PC Port Connection
At the boom of an STE-
6010/6014/6015/6016/601
7/6018 case is an EIA-485
(formerly RS-485) comput-
er port. This port provides
a temporary connection
to the digital network for
network setup or troubleshooting.
To use the port to connect to a computer, a means of
converting the EIA-485 signal to a USB or EIA-232
(formerly RS-232) signal will be needed. The exact
connection depends on the computer and the opera-
tor workstation soware. (See also the instructions
included with those devices and soware.)
For USB (to WinControl or BACstage), use a KMD-
5576 USB Communicator.
For EIA-232 to BACstage, use a third-party interface.
For EIA-232 to WinControl, use the following (or
equivalent) items:
KMD-5624 NetSensor to PC cable
KMD-5559 CommTalk
KMD-5625 adapter cable
To access the network through the STE’s port:
1. Connect the keyed, at end of the EIA-485 cable
to the port on the boom of the STE.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the interface
device that converts the EIA-485 signal into an
EIA-232 or USB signal.
3. Connect the suitable cable from the interface
device to the computer’s serial or USB port. Install
any required soware and congure the port as
necessary.

Controller Connection
Connecting any of these models to a controller
requires a special cable with (on the sensor end) an
RJ-45 connector and (on the controller end) an RJ-11
connector with an additional three wires (as relevant
to the model) for controller inputs. Purchasing
preassembled cables from KMC is more cost-
eective and reliable than creating custom cables in
the eld. Use one of the following cables:
KMD-5693 = 25 .
KMD-5694 = 50 .
KMD-5695 = 75 .
The additional orange wire is for the thermistor
input to the controller. The additional orange/white
wire is for the STE-6014/6016/6017/6018 setpoint
signal input to the controller. The additional green
wire is for the auxiliary supply voltage of 10 VDC
to the STE-6015/6018 or 7.5/12 VDC to the STE-6016.
The STE-6016 is the only model that uses all the
wires. For the other models, clip or tape the unused
wire(s).
