Note:  The 9VDC adapter connection cannot be used in Hazardous Locations. 
4.4.3   RS-232 Connection 
The 5901 may be powered from pin 9 of the RS-232 connector, P4. There are a number of 
restrictions with respect to the 5VDC tolerance and fuse considerations. Contact Control 
Microsystems Technical Support for further information when using this method of powering the 
5901 modem. 
4.5  Configuration Jumpers 
The 5901 modem uses three configuration jumpers for setting modem operation parameters. These 
jumpers are described in the table below. Refer to Figure1: 5901 Module Layout above for the 
location of each jumper.

Description 
Setting 
J1 
5V from P4 
pin 9 
When installed the 5901 uses 5VDC power from 
serial connection P4 pin 9. When powering the 
SCADAPack using this method, ensure jumper J2 is 
removed and jumper J4 is installed. 
When removed the 5901 is not powered from the 
serial connection. This is the normal position for 
5901 and 5901SA. 
J2 
Module 
Reset 
When installed the 5901 is reset by the I/O Reset 
signal from the system I/O Bus. This is the normal 
position for the 5901 when powered from the I/O 
bus, or from a SCADAPack’s RS-232 port. 
When removed the 5901 is reset internally. This is 
the normal position for the 5901SA. Note that the 
5901 is considered an SA only when it is powered 
using an external 115V AC to 9V DC transformer. 
J4 
DTR 
When installed the DTR signal does not affect 5901 
reset. This is the normal position for the 5901SA. 
Note that the 5901 is considered an SA only when it 
is powered using an external 115V AC to 9V DC 
transformer. 
When removed and the DTR signal is de-asserted 
the 5901 will reset. This is the normal position for 
the 5901, when powered from the I/O bus, or from a 
SCADAPack’s RS-232 port. 
J5 
Chassis 
Ground 
When installed the telephone line transient 
protection is connected to chassis ground. This is 
the normal position for the 5901, when powered 
from the I/O bus, or from a SCADAPack’s RS-232 
port. 
When removed the telephone line transient 
protection is not connected to chassis ground. This 
is the normal operation for the 5901SA. This is the 
normal position for the 5901SA. Note that the 5901 
is considered an SA only when it is powered using 
an external 115V AC to 9V DC transformer.
