ADAPTER 6 PIN INSTRUMENT CABLE WITH 5 PIN CONNECTOR Figure 4 Adapter Connection for 2 Electrode LPR Probe The user may from time to time encounter probes with a non standard probe connection especially if the probes are of non standard commercial variety To account for this possibility an IN1500L 4 flying lead cable adaptor is available This comprises a conventional instrument end connector attached to a cable with flying leads terminated in alligator clips This allows for individual terminations to be made to any non conventional probe providing the probe connector pin out is known If the user is unfamiliar with the pin out on any particular probe this can be established prior to probe installation by performing asimple continuity check between the probe electrodes and the probe connector pins Data Download Connection To download data from the MS3500L to a PC use the Optilink Cable and Serial Port Adaptor Note Do NOT plug the phone jack on the end of the Optilink Cable directly into your PC s modem If a serial port is unavailable on your PC and you wish to connect the MS3500L to your PC via a USB port you may use a serial to USB converter This converter is not included with the instrument but may be purchased serparately at major electronics retailers To download data from the MS3500L to a MS1500L connect the Optilink Cable directly to the MS1500L Detailed instructions of data downloading are given on p 16

BM compatible PC or Metal Samples MS1500L portable LPR data logger Downloaded data may be analyzed reviewed or reported by conventional spreadsheet database or mathematical software packages The infrared communication link is an integral part of the intrinsically safe design of the MS3500L Optical instead of electrical this unique feature permits data to be downloaded to an MS1500L while still in the hazardous area Another unique feature of the MS3500L is the high level of onboard intelligence The two line 20 character led allows visual review of all historical data in memory and reads directly as total metal loss and or average corrosion rate This is in contrast to other commercially available units that store and display only the raw resistance ratio that requires additional manipulation to provide useful and intelligible data The screen together with the 2 key membrane keypad provides a user friendly interactive prompting system that is used for both system setup and data review This makes the MS3500L the most advanced unit of its type on the market By adding a 4 20mA communication facility the MS3500L becomes an MS3510L This allows continuous transmission of data via a 4 20mA loop to a plant computer or central data logger for integration with other real time process parameters This data transmission can be accomplished without disruption of the unit s basic logging and data storage operations The 4 20
