2.2.8 Serial Printer and PC Connections
Note: Use of the specified or equivalent shielded cable is mandatory for proper protection from electromagnetic
interferences.
Connect the AutoCAT 9000 Workstation to a personal computer (PC) using the optional
computer interface serial cable (Cat. No. A95P201). The cable provides a direct connection
between the AutoCAT 9000 Workstation and the 9-pin “D” connector used for the serial port
found on most personal computers. If your computer has a 25-pin D connector, use a 9-pin to
25-pin adapter (available at many computer supply stores).
Connect the AutoCAT 9000 to an existing printer using the optional printer interface serial
cable (Cat. No. A95P201). The printer must have the following characteristics:
• 80 characters
• RS232C: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
• Must allow printing of tables
Hach offers an optional printer (Cat. No. A70P021) for use with the AutoCAT 9000. See
Appendix B Printer Installation and Setup on page 153.
