Looks like they are cutting down on the price of the connector by using a much cheaper connector instead of the usual 9-Pin D-Type connector.
So the customers get a cheap receiver but pay extra to interface to it.)(-red
Attach some pictures of the back that show the type of connector that it has and also the manual.
You might be able to find an an adapter so that this would give you an RS-232 9-pin to connect to the null modem cable, or you can just make a custom cable so that at the receiver end you can secure it well to this connector.

I don't see the connector. Can you please attach another picture that shows it as clearly as possible?
Is it inside the box or at the back/front?

Edit: Do you mean the terminal strip with the 4 pins inside the box?
If it is, and you are absolutely sure that these are the RS-232 interface pins, then you can use an old PC cable which has a terminal strip socket on one end and a 9-pin D-type connector on the other end.
(That takes me back at least 15 years !!!!)
