USB/RS232: Using the front panel menu, go to SETUP – MORE – COMM – COM2 – EDIT; scroll
through the COM2 EDIT submenu until the display shows COM2 MODBUS RTU: OFF
(press OFF to change the setting to ON. Scroll NEXT to COM2 MODBUS ASCII and
ensure it is set to OFF. Press ENTR to keep the new settings. (If RTU is not available with
your communications equipment, set the COM2 MODBUS ASCII setting to ON and
ensure that COM2 MODBUS RTU is set to OFF. Press ENTR to keep the new settings).
A MODBUS slave ID must be set for each instrument. Valid slave ID’s are in the range of 1 to 247. If
your analyzer is connected to a serial network (ie. RS-485), a unique Slave ID must be assigned to each
instrument. To set the slave ID for the instrument, go to SETUP – MORE – COMM – ID. The default
MACHINE ID is the same as the model number. Toggle the menu buttons to change the ID.
Reboot analyzer For the settings to take effect, power down the analyzer, wait 5 seconds, and power up the analyzer.

connections
Connect your analyzer either:
via its Ethernet or USB port to a PC (this may require a USB-to-RS232 adapter for your PC; if so, also
install the sofware driver from the CD supplied with the adapter, and reboot the computer if required), or
via its COM2 port to a null modem (this may require a null modem adapter or cable).
