Connection
setup via RS232
The following procedure and diagram describe how to connect the PX5 to a computer
via RS232. Once the physical connection is done, see Chapter 4 Instrument Settings -
Communications on page 4-10 for instructions on how to enable the PX5 settings to
communicate with external devices.
1. Connect one end of the fiber optic cable (P/N 900406) into the Fiber Optic Serial
Data Port located on the left side panel of the PX5.
2. Connect the other end of the fiber optic cable into the Fiber Optic Port on the plastic
housing of the 9-pin/RS232 Communication Module (P/N COMM-RS232).
3. Connect the 9-pin RS232 connector to any available serial COM port on your
computer.
NOTE: If the RS232 COM port on your computer supplies voltage power, the battery
charger/UPS for DC power input is not required. Otherwise, COMM-RS232 requires
that an external power source be connected. For external power supply, use the optional
accessory Battery Charger/UPS (P/N XBC-PX5) available from Dranetz-BMI.
Connect the DC plug from the battery charger/UPS to the 12V, 3W max input jack on
the RS232 adapter. Configure the AC power plug of the battery charger by sliding the
proper plug supplied (US, Euro, UK or Australia) and locking it into place. Connect the
AC power plug of the battery charger to the proper power source 120V AC for US type
plug or 230V AC for Euro, UK or Australia type plug.
