Wireless Dongle Kit conguration options:
Some Wireless Dongle Kits will connect directly to an instrument using
only the Adapter Set conguration, while other Wireless Dongle Kits will
connect to an instrument using only the 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 installation.
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 AL500:
The AL500 Auto Lensometer®can use either the Adapter Set or the
Extension Cable conguration to connect to the Wireless Dongle Kit. The
serial port (A) on the side of the AL500 is where the Wireless Dongle
will connect. In both congurations the Wireless Dongle will need to be
powered by the AC-Power Supply.
The Adapter Set conguration can be used for a direct connection
to AL500.
The Extension Cable conguration can be used to run the Wireless
Dongle to a location hidden from view. Cable Tie Mounts and Cable Ties
are provided to secure any cables or hide them from view. Fasteners are
provided to adhere the Wireless Dongle to the desired location. (cont.)

Connecting to a computer:
The Wireless Dongle can easily be connected to a Microsoft®Windows®
computer using the Extension Cable conguration. You can plug the
Serial Extension Cable directly into a computer’s serial port or you can
plug the cable into a computer’s USB port using the provided Serial to
USB Adapter.
With either connection type the Wireless Dongle will need to be powered
by the AC-Power Supply. Cable Tie Mounts and Cable Ties are provided
to secure any cables or hide them from view. Fasteners are provided to
adhere the Wireless Dongle to the desired location.
