Plug the serial cable adapter assembly 025859-01 onto the J9 header as shown in Figure 6 below (make sure the connector latch is oriented as shown). Then plug the other end of the cable (the longer of the two modular connector cable ends) into the FC88 handheld calibrator. Note that the 025859-01 cable has a dual purpose—the other (unused) short cable end with the modular plug is for connecting a Gen1 (ST50, ST51, ST75, ST75V) instrument to the FC88.
