			==== RS232-Renard24 ====

			The fkostyun Renard24 board has on-board power supply circuitry and on-board zero-crossing circuitry, so all that it needs on the RJ45 cable are data signals and ground. If you are using RS232 input and connecting it directly to the PC serial port, the following cable pinout will work:

			PC DE9 Pin 3 to RJ45-pin 5
			PC DE9 Pin 5 to RJ45-pins 1,2,4 (pins 1 and 4 are required, pin 2 is optional).

			This cable will not work with the Renard16, Renard64 or Ren-C boards because pins 4 and 5 on the Renard24 are reversed from those other boards.

	The Renard controllers fall into two basic categories. Some controllers have SSRs included on the controller PCB, and are connected directly to the AC power lines and to the AC load (lights, usually). Other controllers work with separate SSRs, and are not directly connected to the AC power line (except maybe to supply a zero-crossing signal).		The Renard controllers fall into two basic categories.

			'''Important note regarding Renard64'''

			There were some typos in the Renard64 zero-crossing section that have been corrected, please read that section carefully if you are bringing in the zero-crossing signal through J4.

	Method 1) Bring rectified but unfiltered DC into J3-7,8 using the transformer board. This is viewed as the easiest, safest method. In this case you need to jumper U2-2 to U2-3, and to install R9, Q1, and R14.		Method 1) Bring rectified but unfiltered DC into J3-7,8 using the transformer board.

	Method 2) Bring rectified, unfiltered DC into J3-3. This may be less convenient than method 1, but allows you to use J3-7,8 to bring regulated DC power into the board.

	Method 3) Bring AC into J1. This AC can be 110VAC (somewhat hazardous) if R1 and R2 are each 15K, 1/2W resistors (provides 50% safety margin on the power ratings of R1, R2). It can also be a lower AC voltage, such as the direct output of a 12VAC or 24VAC transformer (R1 and R2 should be proportionately lower in value). You should probably not install Q1 in any of these cases. In all of these cases U6 (the H11AA1) and R14 should be installed.		Method 3) Bring AC into J1.
