CS-SRM Short Range Modem Package 

 

The CS-SRM short range modem package is used for direct communication between a 
Campbell Scientific datalogger and a computer over distances up to 12km (depending on 
baud rate and wire gauge).  The package consists of:- 

 

2 off RAD-SRM Asynchronous Short Range Modems 

 

1 off RAD-SP In-line Surge Protector 

 

1 off RAD-SP Station Surge Protector 

 

1 off SC932C Compact RS232 Interface 

 

1 off 9-Pin to 25-Pin Cable.  

The standard RAD-SRM ensures integrity of data transmission using unconditioned 4-wire 
links at data rates of up to 19,200 baud. The CS-SRM is supplied specifically to connect the 
CS I/O part of a Campbell Scientific Datalogger to a RS232 COM port on a PC. The use of 
USB-RS232 converters may be possible, if power to the RAD-SRM modem is on continually. 
For other connection requirements, please contact Campbell Scientific for advice.

1.  Description 

The CS-SRM can operate without an external supply, the small amount of current 
required being drawn from the RS232 circuits. A switch-selectable DCE/DTE 
option allows the RAD-SRM modem to operate as a DTE-type device for 
connection to another piece of DCE equipment without the need for a cross-over 
cable (see Figure 2). 

The RAD-SRM has transformer coupling between itself and the 4-wire cable 
which, in conjunction with electronic circuitry, protects it from AC or DC 
overvoltages up to 1500V RMS and provides isolation for the two ends of the link. 

The standard modem is not BABT approved and should therefore not be used in 
the UK on leased lines. Please contact Campbell Scientific if you require a BABT 
approved modem.
