Connecting A Multirae To A Pc To Enable Point-To-Point Operation - Honeywell MultiRAE Series User Manual

Note: Licenses must stay on this particular computer. They cannot be deactivated from this PC
and moved to another. If this computer is lost, stolen, corrupted, or replaced, contact Customer
Support.
Important! The MultiRAE must have firmware version 1.50 or higher installed in order to enable
P2P switch functionality. If the instrument requires an upgrade, follow the MultiRAE Firmware
Upgrade Instructions in section 13. Otherwise, skip to the next section.
Enabling P2P
To enable these settings, connect the instrument to your PC running SSDC and from the Device
list page, click on the serial number of the instrument.
Click on "Settings" and scroll down to "Instrument User Preferences". Click the box "Enable
P2P" and click SAVE.
NOTE: All the available licenses enabled are displayed in a list after the license is enabled.
NOTE: More than one key can be enabled and added. The license key can be added using
another instance of SSDC or same instance.
When you are done, press [Y/+] to exit the PC communications mode on the MultiRAE. The
instrument returns to operating in Normal mode.
Connecting a MultiRAE to a PC to Enable Point-To-Point
Operation
Once the MultiRAE is configured for P2P (point-to-point) communication, you must connect it
to a PC or other equipment that it will communicate with. Connect the MultiRAE to the
computer using the special RS232 Travel Charger (PN M01-3021-100) and its mini-USB to
DB9 cable (the standard MultiRAE Travel Charger and mini-USB-to-USB PC communications
cable will not support P2P). If your computer does not have a DB9/RS232 serial port, use the
USB-to-Serial Adapter (P/N: 410-0210-000) to connect the mini-USB to DB9 cable to a PC's
USB port.
Supply power to the RS232 Travel Charger. Either attach the AC adapter to the RS232 Travel
Charger, or plug its USB-A plug into an active USB port on the computer for power. The RS232
Travel Charger will not operate without a power source.
Note: Do not plug in both the USB and the AC adapter at the same time, as this may cause
errors.
Follow one of the three diagrams below for power and data connection options.
