1.6.3. All Systems
AC Power Cable, Part No. 078-00003-xx09 (“xx” for US/JP, UK, EU country code)
The IS-900 system ships with a 9 foot AC Power Cord to match the country voltage specification
on your order. The IS-900 Processor has an auto switching power supply module to supporting
AC voltage inputs from 100 to 240 VAC.
RS-232 Null Modem Serial Cable, Part No. 078-00001-0000 (IS-900 Processor to PC cable)
The null modem cable provides both data and control communication between the IS-900 System
and your host computer. InterSense ships a 1.8 meter (6 foot) cable with the system. The
maximum specified length for RS-232 communication cabling is 7.6 meters (25 feet). A pin-out
and cable specification is located in FAQ’s Appendix below. The null modem cable connects to
the port labeled HOST on the IS-900 Processor.
(Optional) SoniStrip Power Booster, Part No. ISC-REV3X-PWRx
The optional SoniStrip Power Booster kit shown in Figure 15 comes with a +15 VDC power
supply w/ country specific line cord, a 4 ft. SoniStrip Cable (Part No. 078-00088-0004), and an in-
line power booster module (Part No. 100-REV3X-POWR). SoniStrip Power Booster Kits are
required for SoniStrip Constellation Arrays that meet at least one the following conditions:
a) The initial Processor to SoniStrip Cable, Part No. 078-00088-00xx, is greater than 15
meters (50 ft.).
b) The SoniStrip Constellation Array is configured with more than 12 SoniStrips.
c) Any SoniStrip Constellation array requires an extended measurement range of up to 4
meters (13 ft.).
For condition (a) with just 12 SoniStrips in a Constellation Array, the Power Booster is inserted in-
line with the SoniStrip just before the first SoniStrip in the array. For condition (b), a Power
Booster is required after every 12
th
SoniStrip in a Constellation (i.e. it is added in-line after
between the 12
th
and 13th SoniStrip, the 24
th
and 25
th
SoniStrip, etc…). For condition (c), the
Power Boosters deploy as in-line components before the 1
st
SoniStrip and after every 12
th
SoniStrip thereafter.
