** If powering RF400 from CS I/O port but communicating via RS-232 port,
be sure to select “RS-232” as the Active Interface so CS I/O port is not auto
selected by Auto Sense.
4.3 Serial Cables
In an RF400 base station, a straight-through DB9M/DB9F RS-232 cable will
connect from the RF400’s RS-232 port to the PC COM port. This cable is part
of the optional Base Cable/Power Kit (CSI Item # 14220).
A remote RF400 normally uses the included SC12 cable to connect the
RF400’s CS I/O port to the datalogger’s CS I/O port.
