Serial Connection Accessories
In order to connect the AquaController to a PC, a serial connection is
required. This serial cable is 6 foot long with a minidin 8 connector
(plugs into the AquaController) on one end and a female DB9 connector
on the other. If a longer serial connection is required, a 'straight through'
serial externsion cable can be purchased from your local computer store
The ground isolated serial connector (SERIPC9) is used to
break ground loops between your PC and the AquaController.
In some installations a ground loop is formed when a serial
connection is made and can cause erroneous pH and ORP readings.
This ground loop can be broken by installing a GISC in the
series with the serial cable from the AquaController. If the
serial cable is going to be permantly hooked up to the AquaController,
then the GISC is recommended. The GISC measures 1.5"
x 1.25" x .65" and has one male DB9 connector and
one female DB9 connector. Note that the GISC is only for use
with the AquaController, AquaController 2 or AquaController
Jr.
