Cables  

OceanServer offers a variety of cables, which come with the compass evaluation kits or 
can be ordered separately. OS5000-US will auto detect whether the Serial or USB cable 
has been plugged in. (No jumper required) 

 

Standard Cables: 

19-00061-24, 24" OS5000-S Demo Kit Cable with Serial connection, Pressure and 
3.6V battery power connection (picture below) Demo cable provides 3.6V battery 
connection.   Cable Note: this cable is a quick way to get the compass running for 
evaluation. It is highly recommended that you operate the compass from 3.3V since 
the module has a linear regulator and any voltage higher than 3.3V heats up the module 
and wasting power and heating up the OS5000 module.
