The Interface unit INT007 has two 9-way ‘D’ type connectors. The connector marked
with a ‘B’ connects to a PC or Laptop serial Port using a 2.0m serial cable (Part No:
CAB029). The connector marked with a ‘S’ connects to the SADPminiEx using a 1m
special cable (Part No: CAB032).
The INT007 has a facility to connect a +12v DC power supply (2.5mm plug with
positive tip). This supply is only required when the PC or Laptop connected to the
SADPminiEx is not able to supply 100mA. Generally, PC’s do not require this power
supply. Laptops may require the supply for distances above 15m RS232 side and 275m
RS485 side.
