CS451/CS456 Submersible Pressure Transducer
8.1.1 PC Connection Using the A200
The A200 or another device is required to connect the CS451/CS456 to a PC.
This allows sensor settings to be changed via our Device Configuration Utility.
8.1.1.1 Driver Installation
If the A200 has not been previously plugged into your PC and your PC
operating system is not Windows 7, the A200 driver needs to be loaded onto
your PC.
Drivers should be loaded before plugging the A200 into the PC.
The A200 drivers can be downloaded, at no charge, from:
www.campbellsci.com/downloads .
8.1.1.2 A200 Wiring
One end of the A200 has a terminal block while the other end has a type B
female USB port. The terminal block provides 12V, G, TX, and RX terminals
for connecting the sensor (see FIGURE 8-1 and TABLE 8-2). A data cable (pn
17648) ships with the A200. This cable has a USB type-A male connector that
attaches to a PC’s USB port, and a type B male connector that attaches to the
A200’s USB port.
