Page 6: Cabling
2.4 Cabling The installation set of the Euroscan – recorder contains almost all components required for a standard installation with two temperature sensors. In addition to that, some small materials like a silicon kit, PVC trunking, and fixing materials for cable mounting are required.
Page 7: Serial Connection
2.6 Serial connection To set parameters, the MX1 recorder should be connected to a pc by using a serial connection. Euroscan offers a connection cable (P/N: CC-0851-01) for this purpose. When your pc doesn’t have a serial port, you have to use a USB to serial (RS-232) convertor and you can use a USB-port instead of a serial port.
