The sensors screw into the EMD. The EMD is powered over the serial port connection and communicates using a custom handshake protocol. It is not an RS-232 device and should not be connected without the adapter. EMD EMD Adapter EMD sensor Plug the EMD adapter's male RJ connector (model B090-EMD-ADP) into the EMD. Then connect the adapter to the console server serial port using the provided UTP cable. If the 6 ft.
