Overview
The COM200 was designed for remote use in field applications. It provided low power usage in both active and quiescent modes, and a wide operating temperature range.
Read MoreDetailed Description
The COM200 was designed for remote use in field applications. The COM200 was similar to its predecessor, the DC112, in compatibility and operation but supported data transfer rates of 9600, 1200, and 300 bps between data logger and PC.
COM200 History
Serial numbers greater than or equal to 2989 (shipped before or on 20 November 1998) included a dry circuit instead of a wet circuit. This was the last hardware step in cleaning up the communications link for troubled sites. If someone has a COM200 with a serial number less than 2989, that does not mean it is “bad” and needs to come in for repair.
Serial Numbers from 2464 to 2988 (shipped from 14 July 1998 to 19 November 1998) used a new Midcom transformer (CSI p/n 12023). This only helped communication problems in the few cases where there is a poor quality line. When a COM200 comes in under an RMA (for any reason) that has a serial number less than 2464, we replace the old Tamura transformer at no charge. When we do this, the serial number sticker will be changed. It will have the same serial number as before, but the suffix “-MOD” will be added to it. For example, 1060 will be changed to 1060-MOD.
Serial Number greater than or equal to 2344 came with a green power connector that allowed the user to connect the 12 V and GND to the phone modem without using the Power Adapter, p/n 10704.

Power Supply
The COM200 required 12 Vdc power on the 8th pin of the CS I/O port. It can receive this power through several methods:
(1) Data loggers—contemporary models automatically supply 12 V on pin 8. The table below shows whether or not older products included 12 V on pin 8.

(2) COM200—models with serial number 2334 or higher came with a green power connector on the side next to the phone jack. The 12 V and GND terminals from the data logger were attached directly to the 12 V and GND terminals on the connector. The user needed to supply wires.
(3) Null modems—all contemporary models automatically supply 12 V on pin 8. The table below shows whether or not older products included 12 V on pin 8.
