Hach DR 2800 3.4 Connection

Installation

3.4 Connection

The DR 2800 has two USB interfaces as a standard feature,

located on the back of the instrument (Figure 2).

The USB Type A interface is used for communications with a

printer, USB memory stick, barcode scanner, or keyboard. A USB

memory stick is used to update instrument software.

The USB Type B interface is used for communications with a PC.

The optional Hach Data Trans software (see section5.2.6.3 on

page 33) must be installed on the PC for this use.

A USB hub may be used to connect several accessories at a time.

Note: USB cables must not be longer than 3 meters (10 feet).

These USB interfaces enable data and graphics to be output to a

Printer and a PC and upgrade instrument software (see

section 6.7.2 on page 98).
