For NPN lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (<26V). The outputs pull down to less than 3V when ON, which causes current to flow through the load.

    You must construct your own cable that meets the requirements of your system configuration. The cable must provide a DB-15 connector for each DataMan 150 and a DB-9 connector for the PC serial port. Each DB- 15 connector must provide Tx Data, Rx Data, Trigger (Input 0), ground, and DC power. The Tx Data and Rx Data pins on adjacent connectors must be connected to provide the multi-port connection.
