Using The Unicom 2500; Unicom 2500 With Connections - Electro Industries Shark 200 Installation & Operation Manual

5.1.2.1: Using the Unicom 2500

The Unicom 2500 provides RS485/RS232 and Fiber Optic/RS232 conversion. In doing
so it allows a Shark® 200 meter with either RS485 communication or the optional
Fiber Optic communication card to communicate with a PC. See the Unicom 2500
Installation and Operation Manual for additional information. You can order the
Unicom 2500 and the recommended communication cable for it from EIG's
webstore: www.electroind.com/store. From the left side of the webpage, select
Communication Products for the Unicom 2500 and Cables and Accessories for the
RS485 4-wire to 2-wire cable. Figure 5.6 illustrates the Unicom 2500 connections for
RS485 and Fiber Optics.
NOTE: We recommend you use EIG's 4-wire to 2-wire communication cable
so you do not have to use jumper wires.
