Serial Extender
Description and Use
The Serial Extender allows your computer to communicate with your Level 2 (or
higher) TigerStop when the total cable distance is up to 1000 feet (Fig. 1). You
should use an SX when your TigerStop is separated from your computer by at
least 75 feet. A CAT-5 cable is used to connect the extender Receiver to the
Sender.

Components included in the SX
The SX comes packed in a white carton (Fig. 2) and when shipped with a
new TigerStop will be found next to the accessory box.
Inside the carton, you will find a blue product booklet, a serial cable, the
RS extender sender and receiver, and (in a small white box) the power
supply (Fig. 3).
TigerStop adds a second serial cable (Fig. 4), so you will have everything
you need. It is also packed in the carton.
The RS extender receiver is marked with an R, and the sender is marked
with an S (Fig. 5).
