|
|
Listers,
I'm installing a UPSAT SL70 transponder with RS232 input from GRT EFIS. The
SL70 wants a two-wire shielded cable with shield attached to chassis of both.
One inner wire is "RxD serial input", while the other is "RS232 serial ground
out" The EFIS doesn't appear to have a pin for this, or should I just tie
into a common ground. This doesn't look right since the SL70 is grounded
anyway. I am puzzled....

Attach the shield at only one end. It is just a shield, not a ground or
return line.

Tie the "RS-232 ground out" on the SL70 to ground on the EFIS. Connect
the RS-232 data terminal on the SL70 to the RS-232 out on the EFIS. It
may be that the RS-232 input on the SL70 has its own floating ground
(perhaps opto-isolated) in order to eliminate ground loops.
