I’m new to EMLID. We have recently purchased EMLID Reach RS2 which will be set up as a permanent correction base on top of a tower and stream the correction through and external Radio that would be connected to the RS232 connection port.
We are also planning to permanently power the RS2 unit through the RS232 9 pin connector available on the unit.
My question is, how can I connect the the radio and power the RS2 units through the RS232 9 pin connector.
Why the RS232 and power are limited both to one port only.
I’m not sure if any of you have faced a similar issue.
That is exactly what I did to port it into a Trimble monitor. Power/GND to 12V+/- RX to TX and TX to RX. That way it powers the RS2 and transmits NMEA data to the monitor. I used a 12 pin Deutsch connector on the end of Emlid’s cable, then a 45’ long extension.
