Communicating through the optical coupler requires the use of

an optical communication cradle. See the Guide to the CS-860

Optical Communication Station or the Guide to the MCO-860

Four-Bay Cradle for instructions.

CAUTION! Do not use a PTC-860NI with a CS-860 or an

MCO-860 in a hazardous location. Accessories are approved

for use with the PTC-860NI only in non-hazardous

locations.

©Using the 25-pin connector

To connect the PTC-860 to another computer or PTC via the

25-pin connector, you need the correct cable. Different cables

may be required depending on what you are connecting the

PTC to. See the manual or instructions your organization

supplies for your data collection program.

1.Make sure you have the correct cable for the device you are

connecting to. If you use the wrong cable, the PTC may not

be able to communicate.

2.Turn off the PTC.

3.Line up the connector on the cable with the connector on

the PTC. The pins on the cable’s connector fit into the holes

in the PTC’s connector.

4.Gently slip the connector on the cable over the connector on

the PTC and press them together. Do not use a rocking or

twisting motion when pressing the connectors together.

CAUTION! Do not force the connectors together if they do

not connect easily. You could bend the pins on the cable’s

connector.

5.Connect the other end of the cable to the computer or other

PTC.
