Making The connections
Recommended Wiring
Showstopper 4 Accessory Cable
The cable must have at least 6 twisted pairs (12 conductors) of 20AWG (20/6 STP). Here are a few purchasing options:
Network Cable
Each network port requires a dedicated, home run Ethernet connection. Almost any CAT5E or CAT6+ solid conductor cable is acceptable. A foil shield is not necessary, but is also acceptable.
Here are two options:
Belden 1585A or similar
Belden 4812 or similar
Belden 4813 or similar
Belden 2413F or similar
PCB Pass Through vs Terminated
Control Connections are made so that you can easily expand your automation system. Each faceplate can be wired as either a “home run” back to the Showstopper Accessory output, or it can be wired in series with other Control Connections or Showstopper Remote E-Stops.
All three terminal blocks, top (J1), middle (J2) and bottom (J3), are electrically bonded, so it does not make a difference which ones are used as inputs versus outputs. Our recommended termination pattern is as follows:
J1: Input from previous connection or Showstopper Accessory output
J2: Output to next connection OR jumpers for final termination
J3: Factory installed Accessory Socket
Jumper Connections
If the Control Connection is NOT being used as a pass through, there are four (4) jumper wires that need to be in place to allow the E-Stop to function properly.
Pin 1 → Pin 2
Pin 3 → Pin 4
Pin 7 → Pin 9
Pin 8 → Pin 10
