1. Abstract
This manual provides specifications for the CRD9823-RU cradle designed for the Opticon OPL
(OPL97XX and OPL98XX) series data collectors. The CRD9823-RU cradle supports USB and
RS232 interfaces and can also used to charge the OPL.
2. Overview
The CRD9823-RU cradle can be used to charge the OPL series data collectors. Additionally, it
provides a way for data communication between the OPL data collector and a host computer.
The Opticon OPL data collectors all have an IrDA communication interface and this cradle acts
as a bridge between the USB/RS232 interface available on every computer and the IrDA
interface in the OPL data collector.
The CRD9823-RU communicates with the OPL data collectors via infrared data
communication (IrDA1.2, low-power) and can communicate with a host computer via either
USB (USB 2.0, CDC class virtual comm. port) or RS232C.
The CRD9823-RU has three status LED’s, a red LED that indicates that the power is switched
on, a green LED that blinks when the cradle receives data via IrDA and a yellow LED that
blinks when data is received via USB or RS232.
The baud rate for RS232 & IrDA can be configured via special software on the host computer
but it can also be configured via a block of switches that are accessible via the bottom of the
cradle. Supported baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600 bps, 19.2kbps, 38.4kbps,
57.6kbps and 115.2 kbps.
