2.2.3 Communication Parameters and Connections

The digital interface operates via RS485 (optional RS232) and provides access to
applicable internal data including: flow, CPU temperature reading, auto zero, total-
izer and alarm settings, gas table, conversion factors and engineering units selec-
tion, dynamic response compensation and linearization table adjustment.

Communication Settings for RS485 / RS232 communication interface:

Baud rate:

......................

9600 baud

Stop bit:

......................

1

Data bits:

......................

8

Parity:

......................

None

Flow Control: ......................

None

RS485 communication interface connection:

The RS485 converter/adapter must be configured for: multidrop, 2 wire, half
duplex mode. The transmitter circuit must be enabled by TD or RTS (depending
on which is available on the converter/adapter). Settings for the receiver circuit
should follow the selection made for the transmitter circuit in order to eliminate
echo.

RS485 T(-) or R(-)

...................... pin 8 of the 15 pin “D” connector (TX-)

RS485 T(+) or R(+)

...................... pin 15 of the 15 pin “D” connector (RX+)

RS485 GND (if available) ...................... pin 9 of the 15 pin “D” connector (GND)

RS232 communication interface connection:

Crossover connection has to be established:

RS232 RX (pin 2 on the DB9 connector)

..... pin 8 of the 15 pin “D” connector (TX)

RS232 TX (pin 3 on the DB9 connector)

..... pin 15 of the 15 pin “D” connector (RX)

RS232 GND (pin 5 on the DB9 connector) ..... pin 9 of the 15 pin “D” connector (GND)
