To connect the 5001iX to a PC‟s 9-pin DB9 serial port, a special RS232 cable is required. A 6
foot / 2 meter long cable (CI P/N 7000-263-1) is supplied in the iX Series ship-kit. The wiring
diagram for this cable is shown below in case a longer cable has to be constructed. Alternatively,
a generic straight thru DB9 male to DB9 female cable can be used to extend the supplied cable.
