Connections:
1. Data cable connection between tool and breakout box:
8-pin, 15 ft long, CAT5e cable provided. This cable carries 5 VDC power and 5
digital lines. Using a cable longer than 15 ft will degrade the signal and may cause
the tool to incorrectly report pressure readings.
Only connect the data control box to the tool. Never connect either the tool or control
box to any other device. Damage may occur to device, control box, and/or tool.
Before connecting the cable to the tool and control box, check for debris inside both
connectors. On rare occasions, debris inside the connectors will cause a short,
possibly damaging the electronics.
2. Serial connection:
9-pin, approx 10 ft long, straight RS232 serial cable provided. Do not use a null
modem cable. (pins 1, and 6 thru 9 are inactive)
Pin 2: Data is sent on this pin in ASCII format
Pin 3: Not needed for normal operation. This pin is used to reprogram the control
box and needs to be connected for program updates.
Pin 4: This pin controls the control box reset and programming. Changing the state
of the this pin from low to high will force a reset on the control box. If needed, this
can be used to clear errors.
See Figure for Pin Assignments:
3. Relay contacts:
Two sets of normally open relay contacts. Each set can handle up to 12VDC
500mA of power.
To connect to the contacts, use the provided screw terminal block.
