PM175 Quick Start Guide

Setting the Communications

You communicate with the meter via a changeable COM1 communication port, or

through a second factory set serial RS-485/RS-422 COM2 port. Depending on

what was ordered, the COM1 port is equipped with an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485

serial interface, with a dial-up modem for communicating through public telephone

lines, or with an Ethernet module for communicating through the Internet.
To configure the PM175 communication via PAS:

1. Select Configuration from the Tools menu. Under the

Communication group of the Instrument Setup tab, select the

type of a connection for your device.

2. Enter the device communication address you assigned to the

PM175.

3. In the Sampling Rate box, select a rate at which PAS updates

data on your screen when you continuously poll the device in

the PAS Data Monitor.

The communication protocol and port settings in PAS must match the settings

made in your device.
