CAUTION: NEVER let metal, wire, or other objects touch
any internal part of the connectors.
CAUTION: NEVER use a USB cable other than the OPC-

DO NOT extend the USB cable. If a different cable or
a cable longer than 1.5 m (4.9 ft) is used, a data error may
occur.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the cables.
Ensure that your PC supports USB port operation by

(OPC-1637), then connect the USB cable to the PC’s USB
port directly, or to a self-powered USB hub.
Approximately 20 mA of current is required for the data
