Data Interfaces
  The LMA200PM has three data  
interfaces for input and output
–  An RS-232 interface for connecting an 
external printer or computer
–  A PS/2 interface for connecting a PC 
keyboard or a barcode scanner
–  An Ethernet interface for connecting a 
computer over a network adapter
  External Printer
  Data records can be output over this 
interface with the same layout format 
used by the built-in printer.
  PC Keyboard
  You can connect a PC keyboard with 
a PS/2 male connector (maximum 150 
mA) to the PS/2 port on the moisture 
analyzer. Operation through the PC  
keyboard is analogous to use of the 
analyzer’s touchscreen keypad.
  Barcode Scanner
  Alternative to a PC keyboard, you can 
connect a barcode scanner for data 
input.
  Ethernet
  Using the Ethernet port and a web 
browser, your moisture analyzer can 
communicate using virtual network 
computing (VNC).
  Use of Pre-assembled RS-232  
Connecting Cable
  You can use pre-assembled RS-232 
connecting cable to connect an external 
printer. 
  Caution: 
  Do not use Sartorius cables with order 
number 7357312 or 7357315!
