3. Installation
The COM200 is designed to be used with standard analog telephone lines. It
will not work with a digital telephone line. Connection to telephone company-
provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is prohibited.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.
3.1 Connecting to Datalogger
Connect the cable from the telephone RJ11C jack to the modem as shown in
Figure 3. If the telephone company has not installed surge protection in the
telephone line (no RJ11C jack), one must install surge protection (Model 6362
or 2372-01) and connect the ring and tip terminal blocks as shown in Figure 2.
Current Campbell Scientific dataloggers provide 12 VDC to the COM200 via
the SC12 cable (Figure 2). Older dataloggers do not provide 12 VDC on the
datalogger's CS I/O 9 pin connector. When used with the older dataloggers
listed in Table1, 12 VDC and ground need to be connected via the green power
connector on the side of the COM200 (see Figure 3).
