INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Figure 8. Dimensions, Model 3960
422/232 converter will be required. Most PC’s have
only a serial RS-232 communications port.
Installing the 3960 will also require high quality
stainless steel (preferably grade 316) mounting
bolts and a platform of some type on which to
mount it. Gasket materials and sealing compounds
may also be required to provide waterproofing of

a tensioning tool is available to snug up the stain-
