If operating the Model 106 via PC, it is possible to achieve direct RS232 communications over short cable
lengths (up to about 50m). If longer cable lengths are being used, it will be necessary to use a Digital Current
Loop Adapter (DCL). The DCL adapter enables data on power communications over a single pair of
conductors.
If operation is with a Model 8008 Surface Unit, a DCL adapter will not be necessary, since the 8008 has this
communication method built in, with selection defined by the cable connections.
