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.
Connecting a cable
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.
