Appendix A Network Interface Card

The CL17 analyzer can be purchased with a Network Interface Card. This allows the
analyzer to be attached via the AquaTrend

®

software to one master AquaTrend Interface,

one Serial Input/Output (SIO) Module, one Signal Output Module (SOM) with two relays
and one recorder output, and two MOD I/Os. Remote AquaTrends and Digital Display
Modules are not supported. Refer to the AquaTrend Interface Instruction Manual for
complete details on configuring the Hach network.

1. Route a Hach-approved network cable to the CL17 Analyzer. Route the network

cable through the middle wiring access hole in the CL17 housing. (This hole is also
used for routing Recorder output wiring.) Use appropriate hardware to maintain the
NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings.

2. Strip the ends of the network cable. Strip back the wire insulation ¼ inch as shown in
