Connection with a Reichert Digital Refraction System

The ClearChart 4 can directly connect to a Reichert digital refraction system, using a cable or
wirelessly connected using a Bluetooth serial adapter. Wired communication between the ClearChart
4 and the digital refraction system requires connection of a cable between the serial port on the
ClearChart 4 and the digital refraction system.

Bluetooth Connection

Wireless communication between the ClearChart 4 and a Reichert digital refraction system requires
connection of a Bluetooth device. Either a USB Bluetooth adapter (PN 13779) can be used, or a
Bluetooth serial adaptor (PN 16251) powered by the USB port or with a separate AC adapter.
If using the USB Bluetooth adaptor (PN 13779), install the Bluetooth into one of the USB ports on the
bottom of the ClearChart 4. Refer to Figure SU-20.
