PS150/CH150 12 V Charging Regulators

7. A100 Null Modem Adapter

The A100 adapter has two 9-pin CS I/O ports with a null modem between

them. The ports are used to connect two 9-pin devices (e.g., modems or RF

radios) that would normally be connected to the CS I/O port of a Campbell

datalogger. The charger supplies 12 Vdc and 5 Vdc to the appropriate pins on

the connector for powering the connected devices. This functionality is

required in a station where a datalogger will not be present, such as a phone-to-

RF base station. The A100 cannot be used as a null modem between two RS-

232 devices.
