Communication

4-35

Connecting to the Monitor in the Field

Communicating with the monitor on-site requires a direct serial
cable (ADS p/n 5000-0664) and a field computer running the
Profile

software. The direct serial cable provides communication

between the user’s computer and the monitor without the need of
telemetry.

To use the cable for performing on-site communication, connect the
cable's 9-pin connector to the field computer's serial communication
port and the 5-pin connector to the monitor's DIRECT
COMM/EXT POWER
communication port. Refer to the Profile
User's Guide
(#950015**) for using the Profile software to
designate the appropriate local port for serial communication.

Connecting the field computer to the monitor in the field

Note: If your computer only has a USB port and no serial
port, use a USB to Serial adapter cable (and driver
software) to perform serial communications. Ensure that
the appropriate port for the USB adapter has been
designated in Profile (it will be different than the serial
port) before attempting communications. ADS
