Serial Extender

Description and Use

The Serial Extender allows your computer to communicate with your Level 2 (or higher) TigerStop when the total cable distance is up to 1000 feet (Fig. 1). You should use an SX when your TigerStop is separated from your computer by at least 75 feet. A CAT-5 cable is used to connect the extender Receiver to the Sender.

Components included in the SX

The SX comes packed in a white carton (Fig. 2) and when shipped with a new TigerStop will be found next to the accessory box.

Inside the carton, you will find a blue product booklet, a serial cable, the RS extender sender and receiver, and (in a small white box) the power supply (Fig. 3).

TigerStop adds a second serial cable (Fig. 4), so you will have everything you need. It is also packed in the carton.

The RS extender receiver is marked with an R, and the sender is marked with an S (Fig. 5).
