Connecting the AC/DC Adapter
Besides using the 4 “AAA” alkaline batteries as the power source, the CON 11/110
meter can also operate from the power mains using the AC/DC power adapter either
at 120/220 VAC (sold separately) This is extremely useful if you have an AC power
source available ( e.g. laboratory)
Please ensure that the meter and the power source of the adapter are switched off
before plugging in as a safety precaution that should be adhered to safeguard your
meter.
1. Switch off the meter and power sources.
2. Select the correct AC/DC Adapter either at 120/220 VAC which matches your
input mains voltage.
3. Select the correct output voltage of the AC/DC adapter. (Output Voltage: 9 to
15 V DC, Current: >=50 mA).
4. Gently insert the power adapter D.C. jack into the meter power socket.
5. Switch on the power source of the adapter followed by the meter.

Connecting the RS232C Cable (Only for CON 110)
The CON 110 meter provides an RS232C output for you to transmit your readings
either to a printer or a computer via a cable. This is useful in instances where the
meter is used for continuous monitoring of a certain process or experiment. Data
output to the printer or the computer can be then evaluated.
The output data is in the ASCII format. This format allows the data to be imported by
a variety of software that reads ASCII data (e.g. Microsoft’s Excel, Lotus, Quattro-pro
etc.). A complimentary Data Acquisition Software (DAS) is provided and it captures
data transmitted into an ASCII file for later use.
1. Gently detach the printer port cover located at the bottom end of the meter.
2. Plug the RS232C male connector into the RS232C port of the meter ensuring
the correct orientation.
3. Secure the RS232C connector by fastening the two screws at the side of the
male RS232C connector.
