@sergeant-schultz 

same question like here?

Like written above by @hpalmer in TPS1200 Technical Reference Manual “Pin Assignments and Sockets“

http://www.geoaxxis.de/manuals/tps1200/tps1200_techref_en.pdf#G57.1210546

You just need to connect RX, TX and GND to make data connection. Positive+ is not necessary.

Just if you really need “PWR_IN Power input”  for your station connect LEMO Pin 1 to DB-9 Pin 9. Other Pins wrong connected might not be a big problem. But “PWR_IN Power input” wrong connected might destroy your station. Also i don??t know any external Leica Batteries with DB-9 connectors.

I once destroyed my Laptops DB-9 connector when accidentally putting 12V from battery into the Laptop because of wrong connected wires ???.
