Teledyne Analytical Instruments
The voltage from these outputs is nominally 0 V for the OFF and
15 V dc for the ON conditions. The maximum combined current that can be
pulled from these output lines is 100 mA. (If two lines are ON at the same
time, each must be limited to 50 mA, etc.) If more current and/or a different
voltage is required, use a relay, power amplifier, or other matching circuitry
to provide the actual driving current.
In addition, each individual line has a series FET with a nominal ON
resistance of 5 ohms (9 ohms worst case). This could limit the obtainable
voltage, depending on the load impedance applied. See Figure 2-8.

2.3.4 RS-232 Port
The digital signal output is a standard RS-232 serial communications
port used to connect the analyzer to a computer, terminal, or other digital
device. It requires a standard 9-pin D connector.
Output: The data output is status information, in digital form, updated
every two seconds. Status is reported in the following order:
• The concentration in ppm or percent
• The range in use (00 = Range 1, 01 = Range 2, 10 = Range 3, 11
= Range 4)
• The span of the range (0-100 %, etc)
• Which alarms—if any—are disabled (AL–x DISABLED)
• Which alarms—if any—are tripped (AL–x ON).
Each status output is followed by a carriage return and line feed.
Input: The input functions using RS-232 that have been implemented
to date are described in Table 2-8.
