Status LED
This product has an LED status indicator on the backside, as Figure 3 shows. The LED turns GREEN when the device is turned on and flashes YELLOW when the CPU is working.
USB HOST and USB OTG
This product has a two-channel USB host and a one-channel USB OTG connector, as Figure 3 shows. The USB host is used to connect the USB disk or USB mouse, keyboard, and so on.
The USB OTG is only used to download software to the Raspberry Pi CM4 eMMC.
The USB HOST will be automatically disabled when the USB OTG is connected.
LAN Connector
This product also features a Giga LAN connector, as Figure 3 shows.
TF Card and SIM Card
There are a TF card slot (upper) and a SIM card slot (lower), as shown in Figure 5.
The SIM card slot is only used when the 4G/LTE module is mounted.

Audio In/Out Connector
The product features audio In/Out connector, as Figure 3 shows.
ZIGBEE
And on-board Zigbee. The Zigbee controller is the TI CC2531 module supported on the Raspberry Pi forum.
RS232+RS485+Relay Connector
The RS485+RS232+Relay connector is a 10-pin 2.5mm connector, as Figure 5 shows. As for the definition of every pin, please refer to Table 2.

Pin 2 | RS232_0_RXD | CPU UART0, RS232 RXD signal |
Pin 3 | RS232_0_TXD | CPU UART0, RS232 TXD signal |
Pin 4 | RS232_2_RXD | CPU UART2, RS232 RXD signal Can be set as RS485_2+(A). |
Pin 5 | RS232_2_TXD | CPU UART2, RS232 TXD signal Can be set as RS485_2-(B). |
Pin 6 | RS485_3+ | CPU UART3, RS485 +(A) signal Can be set as GPIO Output. |
Pin 7 | RS485_3- | CPU UART3, RS485 –(B) signal Can be set as GPIO Output. |
Pin 8 | Relay NO | Relay Normally Open |
Pin 9 | Relay COM | Relay Common |
Pin 10 | Relay NC | Relay Normally Connected |
ATTENTION:
(1) The RS232_2 can be set as the RS485 signal. If you need it to work as RS485, please contact us before shipping.
(2) The RS485_3 can be set as Two 5V logic GPIO Output, these two TPIO can be used as Wiegand signal. If you need them to work as GPIO, please contact us before shipping.
(3) RS485_3 automatically controls input/output direction. It doesn’t need software control.
(4) The 120Ω resistor for the RS485 signal is NOT mounted by default.
(5) The Relay Max switching voltage is 125VAC or 60VDC. The maximum switching current is 1A. Rated load is 0.3A at 125VAC and 1A at 30VDC.
Camera and Mic Input
The product CS12800RA4101A has a camera on the front panel, as shown in Figure 6, that is not mounted by default.
This product also has an integrated microphone input on the front panel, also shown in Figure 6.
