The ABACUS ELECTRICS model A6R ANSI optical probe is a bi-directional interface
utilising infra-red light. Connecting to the serial port of the Itron hand-held computer it permits
galvanically isolated communication with tariff meters as specified in ANSI C12.18-1996
(U.S.A.) and AS 1284.10.2-1993 (Australia).
The probe utilises the +5 volt power source provided by the Itron/Husky computer. Low
power circuitry within the probe conserves battery power.

Specification:
Signal Levels: Compatible with EIA232D and V28
Maximum Data Rates: 57600 bits/second
Power Supply: +4.5 to +5.5 volts – 25mA maximum
Lead: 1, 2 or 3 metre extra-flexible cable, captive at probe
Connector: 12-pin Amphenol connector wired for the Itron/Husky FS/2 & FS3
