The Remote mode is used in conjunction with YSI 5910 BOD Analyst software to greatly reduce
the labor required for processing BODs and calculating BOD values.
Remote mode is also used to control the 5000/5100 via computer. This can be done using any
standard communications program. See Appendix D - Remote Command Language for details.
RS232 Serial Port
The RS232 serial port uses a standard DB9 connector. Use a straight serial cable (not a null
modem) to connect the 5000/5100 to a computer serial port or a serial printer. See
15. Accessories and Replacement Parts for the YSI item number. A 9 to 25 pin adapter will also
be needed if the computer has a 25 pin serial port. Port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, Parity
None, Stop bits 1, and Flow Control set to Xon / Xoff.
Bar Code Reader
The YSI Model 5015 bar code reader may be connected to the Model 5100 while in the Remote
mode. This greatly improves data entry when entering sample ID numbers used with YSI BOD
Analyst software. The YSI 5015 has a 6-Pin Mini DIN connector that connects to the rear of the
5100 (see section 4.3 for the location of the socket). The model 5000 does not support a bar code
reader. Before using the 5015 bar code reader for the first time, it must be programmed as
follows:
1.
Plug the bar code reader into the connector labeled “BAR CODE” on the rear of the 5100.
2. Turn on the 5100.
The YSI 5015 bar code reader may be either an Imageteam 3800/3900 or Laser Wedge 300 scanner.
**Please check which scanner you have by locating the scanner’s operations manual. If your Bar Code
Scanner is an Imageteam 3800/3900 then you will follow the first set of instructions to initialize.
Follow the second set of instructions if you have a Laser Wedge 300 scanner.
