Make a direct<br />

connection<br />

Direct connections -<br />

4100/4200/6700<br />

Direct connections use a cable to attach your PC to the <strong>Isco</strong><br />

instrument.<br />

• 4100, 4200, and 6700 Series instruments use an<br />

Interrogator Cable for direct connections. The<br />

interrogator cable is also compatible with the 675 and<br />

676 Logging Rain Gauge.<br />

• 2100 Series instruments including the Field Wizard use a<br />

Communications Cable for direct connections.<br />

• Pulse Doppler Series instruments use a Communications<br />

Cable for direct connections.<br />

When the interrogator port is easily accessible, you may use the<br />

10-foot long one-piece interrogator cable. Unrestricted access to<br />

the interrogator port allows you to connect to the instrument as<br />

needed, and to disconnect and cap the port when you are<br />

through.<br />

• Part Number 60-2544-044 - for computers with a 9-pin<br />

connector<br />

• Part Number 60-2544-040 - for computers with a 25-pin<br />

connector<br />

• Part Number 60-2004-507 - for computers with a USB<br />

connector<br />

If the instrument’s location is inaccessible, use the two-piece<br />

interrogator cable. It is a set of two cables, one 10 feet long and<br />

one 3 feet long. The 10-foot cable connects to the instrument,<br />

while the 3-foot cable connects to your PC. These two cables are<br />

connected to communicate with the instrument. When you are<br />

done, disconnect the two cables from each other. Because the 10-<br />

foot section should remain connected to the instrument, a 10-foot<br />

cable is needed for each inaccessible instrument.<br />

• Part Number 60-2544-025 - 10-foot cable, connects to the<br />

instrument<br />

• Part Number 60-2544-026 - 3-foot cable, connects to<br />

computer with a 9-pin connector<br />

• Part Number 60-2544-027 - 3-foot cable, connects to<br />

computer with a 25-pin connector<br />

• Part Number 60-2544-028 - 25-foot extension cable<br />

Note: 4100 Series Flow Loggers and 4200 Series Flow Meters - If<br />

you are connecting a battery-powered flow logger, the<br />

interrogator cable must be disconnected when not in use.<br />

Otherwise, the flow logger will drain its battery unnecessarily.<br />

One-piece cables must be completely removed from the flow<br />

logger, and the interrogator port should be capped to prevent<br />

damage. If you are using a two-piece cable, they must be<br />

separated.<br />
