If the RS232 option is supplied, then the furnace is fitted with one subminiature D-socket
connected to the controller communications (comms) module. RS232 is suitable for direct
connection to a personal computer (PC), using a “straight through” cable as follows (the
linked pins at the computer end are recommended but may not be necessary). The cable is
usually 9-pin at the furnace end and 9-pin at the computer, but other alternatives are shown
in parentheses.

If a boxed KD485 RS485 to RS232 converter is supplied, then the connection cable from
furnace to KD485 should be a “straight” cable, the same as the furnace-to-furnace cable.
The connection between the KD485 and the PC should be a “crossover” cable, the same as
the Furnace to PC cable in section 6.1.
