2) Signal Specifications
Transmission speed: 9600 bps Receive delimiter: CR
Data bit: 7 bits Transmit delimiter: CR + LF
Parity bit: Odd number parity
Stop bit: 1 bit
Output code: ASCII
The above settings are default values.
3) Connecting to External Devices
(1) Connection
• For connecting external devices to the PC, use RS-485 ↔ RS-232C converter (Following is a
recommended converter).
• Short-circuit connector pins Nos. 6 and 9. Then, terminating resistance applied state is obtained.
• Set the converter switch to DTE.
• Pin Nos. 1 and 2 as well as 3 and 4 are the same functions. Correctly connect the wires.

Note: Do not forget to turn OFF both WGI-400A and external devices before connecting to the PC.
Or, the WGI-400A may not operate correctly or cause damage.
