Infrared Port Connections

Refer to the “Hardware Reference” chapter for the ION 7500 and ION 7600 meters’ infrared port specifications.

The infrared port is IrDA compliant. It can be used to communicate real-time measurements to a portable PC via the ION, DNP 3.00, or Modbus RTU protocols. To enable communications from the infrared port, you must configure the COM 3 Communications module. The Protocol, the Baud Rate and Unit ID setup registers must properly match your system. If you have the internal modem option, you must ensure that the Comm Mode setup register is set to select the IrDA port. When creating an ION site, ensure that RtsCts is disabled (set to No) in the COM 3 serial site.

Refer to the ION Management Console online help for more details about adding serial sites.

This is your PC’s (workstation’s) COM port.

If you are using ION software, ensure that RtsCts is disabled for the infrared port's site in ION Management Console.
