USB Ports
A single USB port with a Type-A connector is present on the front panel. The port is USB 2.0 only, and can be
used for USB sticks. We recommend that you do not use this in a hazardous location without mechanical
constraint. All front panel USB ports are equipped with a screw hole for mechanical constraint. The USB port
can provide a maximum current of 500mA at 5V.
A single USB port (micro-B) is provided for console access on the front panel. If your laptop or PC displays a
message that you do not have the proper drivers to communicate with the IR1800, you can obtain them from
your computer manufacturer.
