SC105 CS I/O to 9-Pin RS-232 DCE Synchronous Interface

The SC105 is a CS I/O to RS-232 adapter used to connect a Campbell Scientific data logger to an RS-232 DCE device. Common DCE devices used with the SC105 include cellular modems, radios, and smart serial sensors. The SC105 is compatible with any data logger that has a CS I/O port. Multiple SC105 interfaces can be connected to a single data logger CS I/O port.
