Step 9 Wire and Install Communication Equipment
Communication equipment must be installed in order to communicate, either locally
or remotely, with the 5X00. The communication connection can be made locally
(RS232) or remotely with a serial to ethernet device.
Only 1 connection method
can be used at a time.
AquaManager supports both connection methods.
Notes:
-
Firmware can only be uploaded to an instrument using a local RS232 connec-
tion. See
Downloader
- page 126.
-
On a network, install and configure RS232 or the serial to ethernet device
hardware on the master node only.
Email Alarming
Email alarming can be configured in 1 of 2 ways:
•
from PC running AutoPoll Program that is included with AquaManager
software (PC must have internet connection). This is referred to as
Aqua-
Manager email
.
•
via a serial to ethernet* device with TCP/IP connection at the master 5X00.
This is referred to as
5X00 email
.
*Serial to ethernet connection requires access to an SMTP server accessible by the
local network.
RS232 Communication

Notes:
-
When using a USB-Serial Adapter, verify that the port number assigned dur-
ing driver installation is the same port configured when using AquaManager
and/or the Firmware Updater
-
Use only a Tripp-Lite Keyspan USB-Serial Adapter, model USA-19HS YSI
p/n
773
(64-bit).
-
When making RS232 cable runs greater than 100 feet (30.5 m), use an RS232
Line Extender/Booster. Mount the booster in an area where it is protected
from moisture.
