Communication Cabling 

The Base Station is supplied with a mating 8 way connector for power and communication 
connections. 

MetPak, MetPak RG and MetPak Pro Base Stations have five communication connection options: 

USB (using the 1.8m MetPak RS232 to USB cable, Part No. 1957-10-065). 

RS232. 

RS422. 

RS485 (two wire point to point) or networkable if using Modbus. 

SDI-12. 

 

MetPak RG and MetPak Pro Base Stations have a contact closure input connection: 

DIG1 (Digital Switch). 

 

MetPak Pro Base Station has in addition various Sensor Input connection options: 

AN1 and AN2, Analogue inputs (0-5v or 4-20mA). 

PRT. Platinum Resistance Thermometer Input.  

 

It is important that the cable is appropriate for the chosen communication network. The following 
sections describe the recommended types and maximum lengths of cable in each case.
