Connecting to SITRANS F US Serial Port

Siemens SITRANS clamp on flowmeters utilize several different configurations for their RS-
232 port connectivity. Some have DB9 connectors while others have hard-wired or
specialized connections. Therefore; while all connections will utilize the C2-RJ45V cable with
an RJ45-DB9 dongle; depending on your specific meter type you will need to select one of 2
dongles and possibly an interconnection cable. Siemens offers the standard SITRANS
CONNECTION kit (P/N A5E32299674) which includes the C2-RJ45V cable and both a "Null
Modem" dongle (Brown) and a "Standard" dongle (Black); plus a gender changer), this kit
provides the basics for connection with any of clamp-on meters. Since not all of our meters
are equipped with a DB9 serial port Siemens offers 2 additional connection kits to connect
with those that don't. The table below illustrates each meter variant, its serial port type, and
the connection kit.
