Battery Cover (bottom inside end cap)
Simply remove the cover using a standard slot screw driver or other, and replace the
batteries.
IMPorTanT: Be sure the positive (+) battery terminal is facing up towards the battery
cover, when inserting them into the battery tube. This is very important! Failure to
do so will result in battery acid leakage cause by a current overload. The leakage can
permanently damage the circuit boards, should it leak through the battery tube. The
photo above shows demonstrates the polarity of the batteries. There is also a label on the
side of the battery tube for reference.
noTe: Rechargeable batteries can be used, however they must be recharged outside of
the unit in a stand-alone battery charger.
RS-232 Connector (bottom inside end cap)
Refer to Diagram: The RS-232 connector is a 2 pin
female LEMO connector. It is designed to connect
directly from the TI-UMX2 to a standard AT serial
port on a PC or into the supplied Serial to USB
converter cable. There are two cables supplied with the
TI-UMX2;
•2pinLEMOto9pinserialcable
•9pinserialtoUSBconvertercable.
noTe: This connector is also used to upgrade the
TI-UMX2 to the latest version of firmware.
Serial to USB Converter Cable
A converter cable can be attached to the 9 pin serial cable, for computers that don not
have a serial port (part no. N-402-0510). This cable option is included in our kit as
standard.
