SC-IRDA Infra-red Communications Interface

2

2.4 Datalogger Communication Modes

Baud rate (default):

9600

Manually selectable baud rates: 1200, 9600, 19200.

Baud rate is automatically set to 19200 baud for datalogger operating system
upgrades.

SC-IRDA is compatible with 21X, CR7X, CR500, CR510, CR10, CR10X,
CR23X and CR5000 dataloggers.

The SC-IRDA supports the SDC protocol if the datalogger also supports this
mode
, thus allowing the CS I/O port to be shared with modem devices;
otherwise it operates as an ME (modem-enabled) device. The SDC protocol is
supported by the CR510, CR10X and CR23X standard operating systems, post-
dated October 2002 (version 1.18 for the CR10X).

3. Installation

3.1 Hardware

The SC-IRDA package is designed for installation through the wall of an
enclosure with the optical sensors at the end of the metal tube protruding
towards the outside. The 12 mm diameter metal tube body will fit through
common rubber grommets or liquid tight cable glands (cord grips). A Skintop

PG-13.5 fitting, manufactured by Lapp Cable, is an example of a suitable type.
Campbell Scientific can supply and fit suitable components if required.
