Programming
General
The REMOTE-2 PN Series instrument can be programmed by
connecting an ASCII terminal to the instrument to change the unit’s
Sample Time, Range, Service High, Service Low, Alarm Threshold and
Suppress Alarm Count.
This chapter contains the information needed to configure the
instrument to meet your needs.
Note:
References are made to the REMOTE-2 PN Series, which
includes the NEMA enclosure, and the Rxxx2, which is only the particle
counter inside the NEMA enclosure. The Rxxx2 cannot be replaced by a
"standard" REMOTE xxx2. The REMOTE enclosed was designed
specifically for this application.
Connecting
Instrument to
a Terminal
The RJ45 connector on the Rxxx2 (labeled as "
Programming Port
" in
Figure 4-1) is used to connect the instrument to a COM port on a
desktop or laptop PC. When connected and operating as an ASCII
terminal, the PC can be used to program or monitor the instrument
output.
Figure 4-1 The Programming Port Pin Positions
The cover must be opened to gain access to the Programming Port and
the REMOTE-2 PN Series system must be power-cycled before any
changes made will take effect.
A modular adapter, RJ45 to DB-9, is available from Lighthouse. The
pinouts of the adapter are shown in Table 4-1.
