have one RS485 serial communication port. The serial communication is
galvanically isolated from other analyzer parts.
The connector configuration for RS485 is shown in the figure aside.
Two mode of working are available for the serial communication: STANDARD and GSM.
STANDARD MODE
The analyzer could be connected to PC using RS485 to RS232 converter. With the

analyzer.
The baud rate is set in the “General Menu” - “Serial & GSM Comm.” - “Baud Rate” menu. Available
values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 bps.
Analyzer address is set in the “Address” line and could be between 0 and 32.
Note: If many analyzers are connected in a RS485 network, each analyzer must have a unique
address. While one parameter is edited by the user the PC software is unable to modify it. Any
other parameter could be modified by the PC software.
