RS-232 Control Code:
For installations requiring more sophistication the A4603 supports RS-232
making it well suited for use with automation systems.
Baud Rate: 19200, 8N1 (8Bit Data, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit)
Each transmission = 8 ASCII bytes
Check Sum = The sum of the first 7 bytes inverted and truncated
Note: the check sum for each command is included in the following charts.
There are two possible responses generated when a command is received:
ack - This acknowledges that the command was received and it had a valid
check sum.
ZZZ - This means that the command was not understood or could not be
decoded correctly. It could also mean that the check sum was not valid.
