Xylem H-5223 - Manual (Page 22)

NOTE: When power is first applied to the unit it will try to sync the GOES time clock causing
the current draw to be around 35 mA. Once the time sync is complete the current will
return to the normal low power state. If the antenna is not installed the system may
continually draw higher current.
2.3.5 Host and Aux Port (RS-232)
The host port is used to connect the transmitter to an external data logger. The Aux port is used
to debug and monitor the status of the transmitter.
2.4 Testing the Installation
With a PC connected to the system and running a terminal emulation program like Pro Comm or
Hyper term, then when hooking up the battery a power up message is displayed on the PC screen.
This indicates that the battery is providing the proper power to the H-5223, and that system
variables have been initialized.
You will find detailed user setup information and menu options that will allow complete test and
verification of all sensor connections and operation in the next two chapters.
