Wireless Dongle Kit conguration options:
Some Wireless Dongle Kits will connect directly to an instrument using
only an Adapter Set conguration, while other Wireless Dongle Kits will
connect to an instrument using only an Extension Cable conguration.
In some instances a Wireless Dongle Kit can connect to an instrument
using either conguration. For those installations it is up to the user to
decide whether you prefer to connect directly using the Adapter Set or if
you prefer to use the Extension Cable to hide the Wireless Dongle from
view behind a counter or under an instrument table.
Follow the instructions for your specic instrument.
NOTE: Your Wireless Dongle Kit may be designed to connect in multiple congurations,
so you may not use all the parts included in this kit for your specic installation.
Connecting ClearChart®2:
The ClearChart 2 Digital Acuity System uses the Extension Cable
conguration to connect to the Wireless Dongle Kit. The serial port (A) on
the bottom of the ClearChart 2 is where the Wireless Dongle will connect.
NOTE: Current models of ClearChart 2 have the serial port located at the bottom left corner
of the unit, while older models have the serial port located toward the bottom center of the
unit. Please take a moment to identify the serial port location.
NOTE: If the serial port is located at the bottom left corner, you will need to connect the
Right Angle Serial Adapter 7for easier cable management before continuing.

NOTE: Once the Extension Cable is connected, you can easily run the cable up to the top
of the ClearChart 2 between the ClearChart 2 and the wall, in the space allowed by the
ClearChart 2’s wall bracket. If desired, Cable Tie Mounts and Cable Ties are provided to
secure the cable.
A󰀩x the Wireless Dongle 1to the top left corner of the ClearChart 2
with provided Fasteners, then connect Extension Cable 4routed up the
back of the ClearChart 2 unit. Connect USB Power Cable 5.
NOTE: There are some models of
ClearChart 2 not congured with USB
ports, therefore the Wireless Dongle will
need to be powered via the AC-Power
Supply instead (not shown).
For this conguration, the
USB port (B) on the left side
of ClearChart 2 will power the
Wireless Dongle by using the
USB Power Cable 5. For easier USB port accessibility a Flexible USB
Adapter 6is supplied. If desired, Cable Tie Mounts and Cable Ties are
provided to secure the USB power cable or hide it from view.
