Periodically (at least yearly) check electrical ground connections. WHILE EVERY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO EMBODY THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF SAFETY IN ALL CAMPBELL SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTS, THE CLIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK FROM ANY INJURY RESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION, USE, OR MAINTENANCE OF TRIPODS, TOWERS, OR ATTACHMENTS TO TRIPODS AND TOWERS SUCH AS SENSORS, CROSSARMS, ENCLOSURES, ANTENNAS, ETC.
If damage to the cable is suspected, • consult a Campbell Scientific Measurement Consultant. Although the COM9602 is rugged, it should be handled as a precision scientific instrument. • The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, •...
COM9602 Short Burst Data Modem Initial Inspection The COM9602 Short Burst Data Modem & Interface Kit ships with the L18663 null modem cable, L17855 interface cable, C2626 right angle • coax adapter connector, SAF5350A antenna, L30626 antenna mount and C2945 power & control cable.
For Short Burst Data (COM9602), the available services include a detailed analysis of the client’s expected data values and volume (collection frequency).
All datalogger connections require appropriate cabling and interface accessories (see Table 6-1). The antenna used for the COM9602 is fixed mast antenna, pn SAF5350A. For best signal reception, the antenna should be mounted so that it has an unobstructed view of the sky and the horizon. Reception quality changes as satellites move overhead;...
Note The antenna used for the COM9602 is the SAF5350A mast mount antenna. For best signal reception, the antenna should be mounted so that it has an unobstructed view of the sky and horizon. Reception quality changes as satellites move overhead, so it is critical that the view be clear.
COM9602 Short Burst Data Modem The installation of the antenna and cable should begin by feeding the antenna cable through the nut, then spacer, and finally antenna mount (Figure 6-1). Next, loosen the 4 Phillips screws at the base of the antenna and separate the two pieces.
CS I/O port refer to the manual for the appropriate interface device or cable. 4. Connect the bare leads of the COM9602 power and control terminal to the to datalogger and power supply. Start your connections with the power control leads.
COM9602 Short Burst Data Modem Figure 6-3 Device Configuration Utility Select the File Control tab once connected to the datalogger. Click the Send button, select and then open both the datalogger program and the appropriate Include file (i.e. COM9602_Sub_str_Enc.CR1) in the CPU drive.
COM9602 Short Burst Data Modem Figure 6-5 Run Options The datalogger will complile the programming to confirm its operation. Once the compile is complete, click OK in the dialogue box. You may receive a compile warning related to USR memory size.
Note The recommended connection of the remote modem to dataloggers, when possible is via an available COM port. It is possible for a COM9602 to communicate with a datalogger via either the RS-232 or CSI/O port; however, you will lose the ability to communicate directly on these ports.
• Please reference literature related to integrated equipment for programming details. • When building and testing an application program, be sure not to transmit data via the COM9602 until finalized, as this will be • counted against your account.

Also, be sure that the datalogger configuration and programming are correct, as per the manual. Solution 2: Confirm that the baud rate of the COM9602 is set to 19200 by prompting a response using DevConfig terminal emulator. Configure the emulator to 19200 baud.
