Connecting

accessories

Many accessories are available for the PTC-860. These include

printers, adaptors, modems, and bar-code readers. All

accessories connect to the PTC-860ES and PTC-860NI through

the 25-pin connector. Bar-code readers can be connected to the

PTC-860 through a wand port on the unit’s side.

Some accessories plug directly into the 25-pin c onnector on the

PTC; some require a cable between the PTC and the accessory.

The same general procedure is used to connect accessories and

cables.

CAUTION! Do not connect an accessory to or use an

accessory with a PTC-860NI in a hazardous location.

Accessories are approved for use with the PTC-860NI

only in non-hazardous locations.
