The PM880 Hygrometer (cont.)
Figure 1-2: Probe Connection and Infrared Transceiver
The top of the PM880 (shown in Figure 1-2 above) includes an
input for connecting moisture probes. (Input connections for the
M Series, TF Series and Moisture Image Series probes are
intrinsically safe.) An internal infrared transceiver enables
communication between the meter and other IR devices,
particularly the IR ports or dongles (IR to RS232 adapters) of
®
Windows -based PCs. Users can send and receive site and log
data; they can also program the meter via the optional PanaView
software interface. The PM880 was designed for use with
products that comply to the IrDA protocol. For more information
on establishing IR communications between the PM880 and your
PC, refer to Appendix C.
