5 Signal Common RS-232 Ground
Use the SE
RIAL connector on the Rear Panel to interface the VS Series leak detector to a PC
via an isolated RS-232 connection. Table A-5 and Figure A-1 provide details of the
connection. A typical connection from a 9-pin PC serial connector requires a
female-to-female, 9-pin, null modem cable, where pins 2 and 3 are crossed.

A.3.2 I/O Connector
Table A-6 lists the optional discrete I/O PCB (P/N# R2111501) pin signals. This I/O
connector provides a means for a controller, usually a PLC, to control or to determine the
leak detector status. The I/O is accessible via a type DB25S (female socket) connector.
