Figure 10: RS-232 and Power Connector

The RS-232 connector on the serial cable is wired so that a standard ’straight through’ 9 pin D-sub cable

may be used to connect the modules to a standard serial port such as COM ports on PCs. Note that this

device complies with the EIA232 standard in that it uses signal levels from +/-12V to +/- 12V. It will can

also operate correctly at TTL (0 to +5V) levels. To use standard RS-232 no modifications are required. For

TTL, please see below.
