Communications Connections

CAT1 is equipped with RS232 serial communication port for changing
CAT1 configuration, diagnostics functions, and flow monitoring.
Hoffer communication program DevConfig 3.0 must be used to
communicate with CAT1.
The RS232 serial port connector is located under the top plate of CAT1
and may be accessed by removing the two screws from the top plate. A
matching connector is provided with HOFFER HIT2A-301
Communications Cable. CAT1 unit has to be powered from external
supply in order to be able to communicate. Additional power for CAT1
communication circuitry is supplied by the RS232 serial port of the
computer/terminal. COM port settings must be set as follows:

Wiring

When installing the CAT1, it is good practice to use shielded cable.
The shield should be connected to earth ground near the instrument.
The other end of the shield should not be connected. Connections are
made to the CAT1 terminal blocks using wire gauges 16-28 AWG,
tightening Torque 0.22 to 0.25Nm.
In order to comply with the requirements for Electromagnetic
Compatibility, as per EMC-Directive 2014/30/EU of the Council of
European Community, this wiring practice is mandatory.
