iChart software communicates to a 5100-iSIC device through an internet connection. The 5100-iSIC will be assigned a static IP address. The router that connects the 5100-iSIC to the internet should also have a static IP address and port forward external internet traffic to the internal 5100-iSIC IP address on ports 10001 and 9999.

Connect one end of the RS232 Interface Cable (supplied) to the PC’s serial port. Plug the other end of the cable into the DB9 connector located inside the iSIC. Apply power to the iSIC. If AC power will be used to power the system, connect the red and black battery leads inside the iSIC or […]
The temperature and dissolved expansion connector allows for the addition of multiple temperature and dissolved oxygen sensors to a system. See the diagrams below for exact signal pins. Dissolved Oxygen Sensors The dissolved oxygen expansion connector allows for four dissolved oxygen sensors to be added to a system. Connect the positive signal wire to the […]
The digital expansion connector allows for the addition of multiple RS232, and generic digital I/O sensors, as well as a main communication port. See the diagrams below for exact signal pins: RS232 The digital expansion connector allows for two additional RS232 sensors. These ports operate the same as those located on the digital terminal strip. […]
The analog expansion connector allows for the addition of multiple analog input sensors, such as single and differential 4-20 mA sensors, as well as single and differential analog inputs, analog outputs, and temperature sensors. See the diagrams below for exact signal pins. Analog Inputs Pins AD8-A15 can all be used to interface with single and […]
The Federal Communications Commission defines iSIC data loggers as computing devices and requires the following notice. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A […]
