RS485 allows you to connect one or multiple Shark® 200 meters to a PC or other
device, at either a local or remote site. All RS485 connections are viable for up to
4000 feet (1219.20 meters).

As shown in Figure 5.2, to connect a Shark® 200 meter to a PC, you need to use an
RS485 to RS232 converter, such as EIG’s Unicom 2500. See Section 5.1.2.1 for
information on using the Unicom 2500 with the Shark® 200 meter.
