2.2 Interface Requirements
The Model 1060 is designed to communicate remotely with a host computer and locally with a laptop
computer. The protocol of that communication is described as follows.
The communication interface to the model 1060 is serial, balanced, full or half-duplex, RS-485 signals
with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit at 9600 baud rate.
Computers with an RS-232 communication port(s) can be converted toRS-485 via adapters to permit
remote communication with multi-dropped Model 1060s.
2.3 Enclosures
See enclosure specifications, for size of standard enclosures and dimensions for mounting.
2.4 Detector Setup and Control
The model 1060, when supplied with a detector is factory setup for proper operation. The detector
parameters, found on the Calibration Data Sheet, are entered into the 1060 to provide a calibrated
system. Some applications may involve the replacement of the detector, or the use of a detector from
another manufacturer. Under these circumstances, caution must be exercised to prevent damage to the
detector and/or the 1060.
