4. HARDWARE
After configuring LoggerNet or PC208W, the RF401s and the MD485s
you are ready to set up hardware. Connect the base MD485 RS-232 port
to the PC COM port. Attach the null modem cable to the RS-232 ports of
the remote MD485 and the base RF401. Attach transformers to the DC
Pwr jack of each MD485 and the base RF401.
Remote RF401s normally connect to datalogger CS I/O ports via SC12
cables. Powering up the datalogger will start the RF401 operating.
Connect the CABLE2TP cable between the RS-485 ports of the base and
remote MD485s and you are ready to connect to the datalogger.
