(can be purchased at local electronics store)

Connect grey serial cable included with TDC+ Controller to Serial Comm Port on the
computer and the Serial Port on the back of the TDC+ Control Module.

highly recommended
to use an optical isolator in the serial connection between
the laptop and the Sentinel. If you are not using an isolator you should always run your laptop
on battery when connecting to the Sentinel, and do not allow any metal parts on the laptop or
cable to come in contact with the cabinet of the Sentinel.
