Method for Making the Cable for Connection to the Host
Appendix G
Connecting an NT20S to an RS-232C/422A Converter Unit (NT-AL001)
Connecting an RS-232C/422A converter unit enables the transmission distance to be made greater than 15 m (up
to 500 m).
NT-AL001
Max. 2 m Max. 500 m

NT20S
RS-232C RS-422A
Reference: When connecting the C200HX/HG/HE and an RS-232C/RS-422A converter unit, use a converter unit
whose lot number is 15Y5 or later. Converter units of lot numbers previous to 15Y5 cannot be con-
nected.
