CS-SRM Short Range Modem Package

The CS-SRM short range modem package is used for direct communication between a

Campbell Scientific datalogger and a computer over distances up to 12km (depending on

baud rate and wire gauge). The package consists of:-

2 off RAD-SRM Asynchronous Short Range Modems

1 off RAD-SP In-line Surge Protector

1 off RAD-SP Station Surge Protector

1 off SC932C Compact RS232 Interface

1 off 9-Pin to 25-Pin Cable.

The standard RAD-SRM ensures integrity of data transmission using unconditioned 4-wire

links at data rates of up to 19,200 baud. The CS-SRM is supplied specifically to connect the

CS I/O part of a Campbell Scientific Datalogger to a RS232 COM port on a PC. The use of

USB-RS232 converters may be possible, if power to the RAD-SRM modem is on continually.

For other connection requirements, please contact Campbell Scientific for advice.

1. Description

The CS-SRM can operate without an external supply, the small amount of current

required being drawn from the RS232 circuits. A switch-selectable DCE/DTE

option allows the RAD-SRM modem to operate as a DTE-type device for

connection to another piece of DCE equipment without the need for a cross-over

cable (see Figure 2).

The RAD-SRM has transformer coupling between itself and the 4-wire cable

which, in conjunction with electronic circuitry, protects it from AC or DC

overvoltages up to 1500V RMS and provides isolation for the two ends of the link.

The standard modem is not BABT approved and should therefore not be used in

the UK on leased lines. Please contact Campbell Scientific if you require a BABT

approved modem.

Figure 2 Block Diagram of CS-SRM Installation

Install the modems as follows:

1. Set the DCE/DTE switch in the RAD-SRM to DCE. (This is the default

setting and all CS-SRM modems are supplied with the switch in this

position.) To gain access to this switch and the line interface terminal block,

separate the two halves of the plastic cover by pressing the marked places on

the sides starting at the cable end.

2. Select a suitable cable with two twisted pairs (see Section 4).

3. Connect the four conductors to the screw terminal block, with the transmit

pair connected to the terminals labelled ‘XMT’ and the receive pair to the

terminals labelled ‘RCV’. (See Figure 2; note that the wires labelled A and B

are one twisted pair of the cable, and the wires labelled C and D are

the other twisted pair.) A ground terminal is provided to connect the cable

shield (if present) at one end of the link only.

It is vital that the +XMT and -XMT terminals on one modem are connected

to the +RCV and -RCV terminals, respectively, on the other modem.

NOTE

4. Transients induced on the communication line may damage electronic

equipment connected at either end of the line. To decrease the chances of

damage, install earthed surge protectors as shown in Figure 2. Suitable

protectors are supplied in the CS-SRM package (model RAD-SP). The wiring

is straight through such that pin to pin continuity exists between the two

modems.

If the modems are installed entirely within a building the surge protectors

are not needed, unless the cable length exceeds 200m. Campbell Scientific

will not accept any warranty claims where damage to the CS-SRM has

occurred because the recommended surge protectors were not used.

NOTE

5. Close the unit by pressing the two halves of the cover together. Connect one

modem directly to the RS232 port on the computer and connect the other to

the SC932C interface.

6. Referring to the SC932C manual, check that its internal jumpers are set in

the correct position for use with the CS-SRM modem.

7. This modem requires no specific set up in the latest version of PC400 or

LoggerNet, as the software will be aware of its presence.

3.1 Connection to a Remote Printer

Please refer to the SC932C Manual for details of connection to a remote printer.

3.2 Protection from Transients

The RAD-SP spark-gaps provide protection both for the datalogger

and RAD-SRM units from induced voltage transients in the

interconnecting cable. Please be aware that the RAD-SRM linked to

the computer can still be damaged by transients coming from the

PC, and in such circumstances considerable damage is also often

done to the PC itself. These transients can come from the AC power

lines to the PC or its peripherals and/or connections to other remote

peripherals (e.g. via network links) and are typically caused when

lightning strikes overhead power lines. As the RAD-SP units and the

datalogger protection devices act as low resistance clamps to

ground, the PC may offer the path of least resistance to ground

compared to other equipment.

CAUTION

To protect the PC and the RAD-SRM from this type of damage fit

the power supply lines to the PC with good quality surge arrestors.

These should also be fitted to any network or serial connections to

other devices. Please contact your computer dealer for the supply of

such devices.
