The instrument has three USB ports and one Ethernet port as
standard. They are located on the front and rear of the instrument
(

Figure 2, page 15
).
The USB type A ports are used for communications with a printer,
USB memory stick or keyboard. A USB memory stick can be
used to update the instrument software.
The USB type B port is used for communications with a PC. The
optional Hach Lange Online Data software must be installed on
the PC for this use.
A USB hub may be used to connect several accessories at a
time.
Note: USB cables must not be longer than 3 m.
These USB ports permit data to be exported to a printer or PC
and also allow the instrument software to be upgraded (refer to
). The Ethernet port supports real-time data
transfer in local networks, LIMS systems or SC controllers. Only
use a shielded cable (e.g. STP, FTP, S/FTP) with a maximum
length of 20 m for the Ethernet port.
