Up to 95% non-condensing Installation Connect the SC932A to the RS-232 device and to the datalogger with the SC12 9-pin cable (included). If the device has a 25-pin connector, a 9-pin female to 25-pin male adaptor is required (pn #15751).
Set the DCE/DTE switch on the back of the RAD modem connected to the SC932A to DCE. For a RAD modem connected to a PC, set the DCE/DTE switch to DCE. For a RAD modem connected to a serial printer, set the DCE/DTE switch to DTE.
Campbell Scientific (pn #5563 shown in FIGURE 4-2, pn #6536 includes a plastic case, pn #6361 includes hardware for mounting to ground lug of Campbell Scientific enclosures models ENC10/12, ENC12/14, or ENC16/18). Spark gap wiring is straight through such that pin to pin continuity exists between the two modems.
To verify that the datalogger and its serial I/O port are working, try to access input memory locations using a laptop PC with the SC32B or the CR10KD Keyboard Display. If the datalogger passes tests 4, 5, and 6, then the SC932A is suspect and will need to be repaired or replaced.
