NOTE: • Never connect a PC directly to the DSUB-9 connector if EJ-41U is not installed. It may
cause the unit to malfunction.
• The local system, transmission and reception environment may easily cause troubles in 9600bps
packet mode. A connection error may frequently occur unless the communication is established
at very high signal strength.
• When the DATA input level is far off from the specification (1200bps=100mVrms/600ohm,
9600bps=400mV/600ohm), it causes poor S/N ratio and distortion, as such the data will not be
exchanged properly.
