Security
The Reference 5 S2 has the capability to lock the front panel buttons, turn off the front panel IR receiver, and
lock the memory so it cannot be changed. If the front panel IR receiver is turned off, it will also disable a key-
pad or IR sensor if a keypad or IR sensor is being used.

RS-232
The main RJ-45 jack can be enabled or disabled. The baud rate can be adjusted. For best operation the
baud rate should be left at 9600. The Echo/Update feature can be toggled on or off. Echo and Update will
either echo an RS-232 message received or send out an update message indicating the unit has made a
change. The transmit and receive ID’s can be adjusted for operating with RS-232 controllers. B&K provides
all RS-232 serial codes for use with RS-232 controllers. These documents in .pdf format can be found on our
