Technical Description

The SC32B, or another interface, is required for direct communications between a PC and a CR510, CR10X, or CR7 datalogger. For our CR800, CR850, CR1000, and CR1000X dataloggers, the SC32B is often used to provide optical isolation between the data logger and PC. Although the onboard RS-232 port of the CR3000, CR5000, or CR9000X dataloggers is isolated, the SC32B can be interfaced with their CS I/0 port when a second RS-232 port is required in the application.

The SC32B is shipped with an SC12 (2 ft) cable for attachment to the data loggerand a 10873 (6 ft) cable for attachment to the PC. Alternatively, an SC12R-6 (6 ft) cable (purchased separately) can be used instead of the standard SC12when alonger cable is needed.

The SC328B can support RS-232 cable lengths of up to 50 feet; longer cable lengths are not recommendedT.he longer cable should be on the data logger side of the interface

(CMOS logic levels) as opposed to the RS-232 side, which is typically more sensitive to drops in signal voltage levels.
