EXTERNAL INTERFACE
Connectors
The ES3 form factor necessitates a non-standard approach to headset and
interface cable attachments. The headset attaches to a high-density 15-pin D-
Subminiature connector, and is held in place with allen (hex) head screws to
minimize the possibility of accidental mismatch of headset to instrument. All other
cables are attached via a multi-purpose 6-pin mini DIN connector. The ES3 wall
cube, printer/power cable, USB cable, or serial computer/power cable may be
attached to the mini DIN connector. Connector pin outs are as follows:

Notes:
1) The wall cube connector uses pins 1 and 2 for power.
2) Serial cables use pins 3 and 5 for RS-232 and pins 1 and 2 for power
(assuming wall cube is plugged into the cable’s mini DIN ‘pigtail’).
3) The USB cable uses pins 1 and 2 for USB bus-power (requires about 120
ma) and pins 4 and 6 for USB data.
