A.3 Customer Accessible Inputs and Outputs
A.3.1 Serial Connector
Use the SERIAL connector on the Rear Panel to interface the leak detector to a PC via an
isolated RS-232 connection. Table A-5 and Figure A-1 provide details of the connection. A
typical connection from a 9-pin PC serial connector requires a female-to-female, 9-pin, null
modem cable, where pins 2 and 3 are crossed.

A.3.2 I/O Connector
Table A-6 lists the optional discrete I/O PCB (P/N# R2111501) pin signals. This I/O
connector provides a means for a controller, usually a PLC, to control or to determine the
leak detector status. The I/O is accessible via a type DB25S (female socket) connector.
