Remove the set screws on the Transmitter Lid. Carefully pop off the lid while leaving wires
and plug attached so that the transmitter is powered.
Models 269 and industrial 295
Unscrew the Transmitter Lid, leaving the wires attached so that the transmitter is powered.
Note: when re-attaching the 269 lid, start with the wires untwisted, then find the thread engagement point and
turn 1.5 times to tighten. Model 295’s use a 1/4 turn lid.
2. Next, insert the 1/8” serial plug into the connector on the transmitter circuit board.
3. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the PC. If your computer does not have any form of serial port, then the
USB to serial adapter can be used.
To use the USB port you must first install the proper driver on your computer. Please refer to the “Read me“ file on the
CD before using the USB adapter.
