CMS-50E Connection Problem

The Old Salt · Post by **The Old Salt** » Sun Sep 18, 2016 12:54 pm

Have not used my CMS 50E O2 recording sensor for several months. Started up the SpO2 software, hooked up the USB connection, turned on the sensor, and clicked on the connection icon. Received a message, On Device Found. Anyone have this problem? Would appreciate any assistance offered.

Rechargable batteries like to croak if you ignore them for a long time.

Is the re-chargeable battery in the CMS-50E replaceable? Don't see an access...Oh yes. The bottom cover comes off. Battery has a circuit board attached and leads that solder into another circuit board. Hummmm Anyone replace these before? This unit was only used 20 or so times. Then let sit for 6 months...

I know, I know! You have to use the usb cable that comes with the instrument. Don't know what it is, but that is the only one that works.

it's because it's not a usb cable, it's got a microchip in it that converts plain serial to usb signals.. unfortunately, it *LOOKS* like a usb, and that confuses lots of people.

the two I have are a gray, and have a larger than usual plastic end on the end that plugs into the computer.

If I can't find the correct one, where can I buy a new one? I have a gray one. its long and currently plugged into the charger. I'll look to see if it has an oversize USB end.
