Hardware Parameter Descriptions

Descriptions of Hardware parameters are listed in the following table:

System Parameter Setting Description

Smart GFI 0 – 5 mA The high voltage power supply of the HypotULTRA is internally referenced to earth

ground. Since the leakage current measuring circuit of the instrument monitors only current that ows through the return lead the possibility exists for current to ow directly from the high voltage output to earth ground without being measured. The SmartGFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) circuit monitors the current between the high voltage output and earth ground. Therefore, if you touch the high voltage lead and earth ground, the instrument will detect this hazardous condition and shut off immediately.

SmartGFI goes beyond a standard GFI circuit by automatically determining the return

conguration of the DUT (grounded or oating) and enabling or disabling depending on the situation. When the HypotULTRA’s Return lead is oating, the SmartGFI circuit

enables, protecting the test operator from electric shock. When the HypotULTRA’s Return lead is earth grounded, the SmartGFI circuit disables and the instrument operates in a grounded return mode of operation. If the GFI were to remain active in this state, the instrument would continuously fail since all current is returning through earth ground. By disabling the SmartGFI circuit and operating in a grounded return mode, Hypot allows the user to perform tests on devices that have their chassis’s earth

grounded by the test xture or test environment.

PLC Remote ON/OFF Allows the user to initiate a test through the REMOTE INPUT on the rear panel of the

instrument. If PLC Remote = ON the front panel TEST button is disabled and a test may only be started through the rear panel Remote I/O. If PLC Remote = OFF, the test must be initiated via the front panel TEST button.

Single Step ON/OFF Temporarily overrides the automatic connection feature. If Single Step = ON the

instrument will pause after each step is completed, even if step Connect function is set to ON. To continue the test sequence, press the TEST button to execute the next connected step. Each time the TEST button is pressed the next connected step will execute. If you press the RESET button before completing all connected steps, it will return the instrument to the original starting step. If a step fails and you wish to continue to the next step, do not press the RESET button but press the TEST button.

Important Information regarding ther Barcode Feature

There are two options under Barcode, Barcode I/P and Autostart. You can set the Barcode I/P function to OFF, SER/PROD, SERIAL #, PRODUCT # or RUN FILE. When the setting is SERIAL#, PRODUCT# or SER/PROD you can scan barcodes in the Perform Tests screen before the test is started.

After the barcodes are scanned, pressing TEST will initiate the test sequence. Pressing RESET will abort the TEST sequence. The barcode function allows for the re-scanning of barcodes if the previously scanned barcode was incorrect. Re-scanning is available in the SERIAL#, PRODUCT# and SER/PROD modes. Any time before a test is initiated; you can re-scan a barcode. If you decide

to re-scan barcodes when the Barcode I/P setting is set to SER/PROD, the barcode function will rst replace the data in the Serial Number eld, and if you re-scan another barcode, the barcode function will replace the data in the Product Number eld.

The RUN FILE selection gives you the ability to automatically load a test le based on what barcode is scanned from the Perform

Tests screen.

To completely enable this feature you must name the desired test le for a particular product with the exact alpha-numeric code that is on the product’s barcode label. For example, if Product A has barcode “123456789”, then the test le that you would like

to run when testing Product A must be named “123456789”. Upon scanning the barcode, the HypotULTRA will immediately load

the test associated with that barcode. The test le name is limited to 8 characters. However, if you name a test le with the maximum 8 characters, this function will still initiate a test when a product’s barcode begins with those rst 8 characters, even if the

barcode has more than 8 characters.

The maximum length of the barcode Model/Serial number is limited to 21 characters.

When using certain features of barcoding, the instrument’s response to the TD? and RD x? commands will differ slightly to an

instrument that is not utilizing this function. For all types of tests (ACW, DCW, IR, CONT) two elds are added to the end of the

standard response when the Barcode I/P setting is set to SERIAL#, PRODUCT# or SER/PROD.

The rst eld contains the Serial Number information and the second eld includes the Product Number information. Both elds

are included regardless of which of these three modes are selected. The Data Storage Card will simply substitute a “0” for the

eld if it is not applicable to the setting. For example, if a user had their Barcode I/P setting set to SERIAL#, and scanned a Serial

Number with the value “123456789”, the TD? response for an ACW test could be:

01,ACW,Pass,1.24,1.00 0,0.90 0,1.0,123456789,0

Note that there is a “0” in the Product Number eld because the Barcode I/P setting is SERIAL#. When the Barcode I/P setting is RUN FILE or OFF, these elds are not included in the TD? and RD x? responses.

Test Parameters Description Continued

Test Parameter Test Typ e Description

Ramp Down ACW, DCW, IR The length of time that is allowed for the test voltage to

decay from programmed test voltage to 0.

Charge-LO DCW, IR Use the Charge-LO function to check if the cables are con-

nected properly at the beginning of a test. A capacitive DUT will draw charging current on the DC Withstand test when the Output is activated. If the charging current is lower than the setting, the test cables may not be connected properly. The instrument can set the Charge-LO parameter manually or automatically. To manually set the Charge-LO current, use the touchscreen keypad to enter the value. To automatically set the Charge-LO current select the Charge-LO parameter and connect all test leads to the DUT as you would when performing an actual DCW test. Press the TEST button on the front panel of the instrument.

Please be aware that the program

CAUTION

will activate high voltage on the output connector while the TEST button is pressed.

S’il vous plaît soyez conscient que le programme va activer haute tension sur le connecteur de sortie tandis que le bouton TEST est pressé

The program will read the charging current of the DUT and set the Charge-LO current at approximately one half (1/2) of the reading. The instrument will beep and the new value will

automatically be updated in the eld. You do not need to

select the ENTER key for the new parameter to be accepted.

Ramp-HI DCW The Ramp-HI function is active during the Ramp period only.

Ramp-HI will allow current higher than the normal HI-Limit current setting of the DC Withstand Voltage test to avoid false failure due to charging current.

Arc Sense ACW, DCW The maximum allowable threshold for arcing. The numbers

0 through 9 correspond to the different arc sensitivity levels, 1 meaning the maximum threshold of allowable arcing, 9 meaning the minimum threshold of allowable arcing, and 0 being OFF. Arc detection is not required for testing.

Using Remote I/O and PLC Control

Two 9-pin “D” type connectors mounted on the rear panel provide REMOTE-INPUT-OUTPUT control and information.

• These connectors mate with a standard 9 pin D-sub-miniature connector provided by the user.

• The output mates to a male (plug) connector while the input mates to a female (receptacle) connector.

• For best performance, you should use a shielded cable. To avoid ground loops you should not ground the shield at both ends of the cable.

Signals on Remote I/O

REMOTE INPUT/OUTPUT

Remote Output The rear panel connector provides three output signals to remotely monitor PASS, FAIL,

and PROCESSING conditions. The monitoring signals are provided by three normally open internal relays that toggle ON and OFF to indicate the condition of the instrument. These are normally open free contacts and will not provide any voltage or current.

Output Signal Pins Description

PASS 1 and 2 The relay contact closes after detecting that the device under test passed all tests. The

connection is opened when the next test is initiated or the reset function is activated.

FAIL 3 and 4 The relay contact closes after detecting that the device under test failed any test. The connection

is opened when the next test is initiated or the reset function activated.

PROCESSING 5 and 6 The relay contact closes while the tester is performing a test. The connection is opened at the

end of the test.

These are normally open free contacts and will not provide any voltage or current. The ratings of the contacts are 1 AAC / 125 VAC (0.5 ADC / 30 VDC). When a terminal becomes active, the relay closes thereby allowing the external voltage to operate an external device.

Remote Input The HypotULTRA remote connector enables remote operation of the TEST, RESET, and

REMOTE INTERLOCK functions, and allows you to select one of 10 pre-programmed test les.

Output Signal Pins Description

TEST 3 and 5 A normally open momentary switch can be wired across pins 3 and 5 to allow remote operation

of the TEST function. A minimum pulse width or contact closure of 20mS is required to guarantee a test start.

RESET 2 and 5 A normally open momentary switch can be wired across pins 2 and 5 to allow remote operation

of the RESET function. For safety, the front panel RESET button remains active even when a remote reset switch is connected so that high voltage can be shut down from either location. A minimum pulse width or contact closure of 50mS is required to guarantee that a running test will abort.

INTERLOCK 4 and 5 Remote Interlock utilizes a set of closed contacts to enable the tester’s output. The output of the

tester will be disabled under the following conditions:

• If the Interlock contacts are open and the TEST button is pushed

• If the interlock contacts are opened during a test (test will automatically abort)

A pop-up message will be displayed on the screen:

The tester can still be used without the external interlock device as long as the Interlock Connector (P/N # 38075 provided with unit) is plugged into the Remote Interface, Signal Input port. If there is nothing connected to the Remote Interface, Signal Input port to provide a connection to the interlock, the tester will not perform tests.

When the PLC Remote mode is ON, the tester will respond to simple switch or relay contacts closures. When the PLC Remote function is ON the TEST button on the front panel will be disabled.

Remote Signal Inputs and Memory Access

• The Remote File Select function gives you the capability to quickly select and initiate a test remotely.

• You can access rst ten (10) pre-programmed test les by connecting pins 1, 6, 8 and 9 to the common pin 7, in different

combinations.

• The memory select bits should be set simultaneously and remain set for a

minimum of 20ms to guarantee that the correct memory will be selected.

• The memory select bits may be set in sequential manner, provided that the time

delay between each bit is less than 4ms.

• When the desired bit pattern has been established it should remain set for a

minimum of 20ms to guarantee that the correct memory will be selected.

• It may be necessary to “OR” the momentary switches (relay contacts) to

prevent incorrect program selection due to timing errors.

Do not touch the front panel when testing or after a malfunction has occurred.

WARNING

Ne olariz pas la face avant lors de l’essai ou après un dysfonctionnement s’est produit.

The operator should understand the electrical fundamentals of voltage, current, and resistance.

2. Safety Procedures

Operators should be thoroughly trained to follow these and all other applicable safety rules and procedures before they begin a test. Defeating any safety system should be treated as a serious offense and should result in severe penalties, such as removal from the Hipot testing job. Allowing unauthorized personnel in the area during a test should also be dealt with as a serious offense.

Refer to the following standards for more information:

• NFPA 70E

• OSHA 1910 subpart (S)

• EN50191

3. Dress

Operators should not wear jewelry that could accidentally complete a circuit.

WARNING

Do not observe ESD protocols while performing electrical safety tests. Intentionally grounding the test operator could lead to a harmful or fatal electric shock.

Protocoles de l’EDD ne devraient pas être respectées lors de l’exécution des tests de sécurité électrique. Intentionnellement à la terre à l’opérateur de test pourrait conduire à un choc électrique dangereux ou mortel.

4. Medical Restrictions

Inform personnel with heart ailments or devices such as pacemakers that the voltages and currents generated by the instrument are very dangerous. If contacted, the instrument may cause heart-related problems. Please have the test operator consult a physician for recommendations.

5. Test Station

Location

Select an area away from the main stream of activity which employees do not walk through in performing their normal duties. If this is not practical because of production line ow, then the area should be roped off and marked for HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING. No employees other than the test operators should be allowed inside. If benches are placed back-to-back, be especially careful about the use of the bench opposite the test station. Signs should be posted: “DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE TEST IN PROGRESS - UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP AWAY.”

Work Station

Perform the tests on a non-conducting table or workbench, if possible.

There should not be any metal in the work area between the operator and the location where products being tested will be positioned.

Position the instrument so the operator does not have to reach over the product under test to activate or adjust the instrument. If the product or component being tested is small, it may be possible to construct guards or an enclosure, made of a non-conducting material such as clear acrylic, such that the item being tested is within the guards or enclosure during the test, and t them with switches so that the instrument will not operate unless the guards are in place or the enclosure closed. The outlet which is used to provide power to the instrument should be easily accessible.

Keep the area clean and uncluttered. All test equipment and test leads not absolutely necessary for the test should be removed from the test bench and put away. It should be clear to both the operator and to any observers which product is being tested, and which ones are waiting to be tested or have already been tested. If the instrument is used in a matter not specied by Associated Research the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.

Do not perform Hipot tests in a combustible atmosphere or in any area where combustible materials are present.

KEY SAFETY POINTS TO REMEMBER

• Keep unqualied and unauthorized personnel away from the test area.

• Arrange the test station in a safe and orderly manner.

• Never touch the product or connections during a test.

• In case of any problem, turn off the high voltage rst.

• Properly discharge any item tested with DC before touching connections.

Why use the term “Counts”?

Associated Research publishes some specications using COUNTS which allows us to provide a better indication of the instrument’s capabilities across measurement ranges. A COUNT refers to the lowest resolution of the display for a given measurement range. For example, if the resolution for voltage is 1V then 2 counts = 2V.

01 Internal 8 Channel Scanner with Continuity

The Scanner option provides 8 high voltage/continuity channels on the rear panel of the HypotULTRA. The high voltage/continuity channels can be set to a High (H) or Low (L) level giving the operator the capability to test from one channel to another channel or from any channel to a common Low or Return point. The channels can be connected in parallel if desired but there is only one leakage current measurement for all channels.

02 Internal 4 Channel Scanner with Continuity

This option is the same as Option 01, 8 Channel Scanner with Continuity, with the exception that the numbers of channels are limited to 4. The Scanner functions the same as the 8-channel option but the Scanner status display will only indicate the status of channels 1-4, even though all 8 channel indicators are displayed.

04 3mA AC/DC Output

The 3 mA AC Output option limits the AC Dielectric Withstand Mode output current with software control. The trip points are

adjusted to a maximum of 3 mA and the software has been modied so the high-speed maximum current shutdown is xed at 3 mA. The following table shows the specications for this option:

07 Printer Port

This option allows the instrument to generate a hard copy printout of the test results. The printout can be congured to print

automatically with each test or manually by pressing a front panel key. There is also the capability to enter a device ID number for

each test that will increment automatically after each test is performed. The test can be further congured to print only results

from tests that have failed or to print all test results from every test performed.

The Printer Port is a USB interface and should be compatible with most USB printers. The printer port output uses simple ASCII

characters and control codes. Simply connect the printer to the HypotULTRA and congure the printer output using the Setup

Systems menu. Once the Printer Port option is installed select the Setup System screen and the Print Format icon will now be displayed:

Select the Print Format icon and the next screen will display all the parameters for this option:

From the Print Format setting screen, six different parameters may be accessed; Device ID number, Mode, Test Result, Test Setting, Device ID, and Form Feed.

Mode

From the Print Format setting screen, select “Mode” and the following screen will appear:



Page 88

The three modes available are Auto, Manual and OFF. In the Auto mode, the HypotULTRA will automatically send the test results to the printer at the end of every complete test. If Manual mode is selected, at the end of the test you will need to select the Results icon to view the results. Under Results you will then select Present test. The next screen will display the results of the present test along with an option of Print Results. You can then select Print Results to send the test results to a printer.

OFF mode disables the printer card and printer menu.

Test Result

From the Print Format Setting screen, select “Test Result”:

The two options available for Test Result are “All” and “Fail”. This option allows you to select which test results will be printed. “All”, selects printing all test results and “Fail only”, selects printing only failed test results.

Test Setting

From the Print Format setting screen you can turn the Test Setting print enable ON and OFF. This parameter selects printing the test parameters as well as the test results:

Device ID

The Device ID parameter appears twice in under the Print Format option. The rst parameter allows you to set the Device ID to

ON or OFF:



Page 89

The Device ID number is a counter that increments once every time a test is performed. The number can be set to match the

exact serial number or some portion of the actual serial number of the item under test, or just used as an identier or tracking

number. From the Print Format Setting screen select Device ID:

The Device ID number can be entered and saved using the touchscreen keypad.

Form Feed

From the Print Format Setting screen, you may turn the Form Feed ON and OFF by selecting the “Form Feed”. This parameter forces a form feed after each complete test sequence. When the form feed is turned OFF, the signature line will not appear. When the form feed is turned ON the pages will break whenever the page is determined to be full by the printer:

08 GPIB Card

This option may be substituted for the RS232 interface. This option provides all of the function control of the RS232 interface with the addition of SRQ functions. All commands can be found in section 7. Bus Remote Interface GPIB/USB/RS-232 of this manual.

09 Ethernet Card The Ethernet Card option provides RS-232 and Ethernet communication interfaces, as well as barcode scanning capability.

The Ethernet Card has three input/output ports, shown in the following gure:



Page 90

The port labeled “Barcode” is a PS/2-type connector that is used for the connection of a barcode scanner. The Ethernet port is for use with a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable and may be connected to any compatible PC. The 9-pin D-type subminiature connector labeled “RS232” is for connection of the HypotULTRA to an RS-232 communication bus.

RS-232 Interface

The protocol for interfacing and communicating using the RS-232 interface can be found in section 8. Bus Remote Interface GPIB/USB/RS-232 of this manual.

Ethernet Interface

The Ethernet interface provides all of the function control of the standard RS-232 interface. Some commands are only exclusive to GPIB control.

Default Settings

The default settings for the Ethernet interface are as follows:

IP Setup: AUTO IP Address: 010.000.000.000 Gateway IP: 000.000.000.000 Subnet Mask: 255.000.000.000

The source port number for the Ethernet Card in TCP connections is 10001.

Ethernet Card Setup

In order to setup the Ethernet card, the operator will need information from the local network administrator. Please have your

network administrator ll out the required information on the next page and keep it for your records:

Associated Research Ethernet Card Communications Information

(To be completed by Network Administrator)

Saving New Settings

Any time you edit one of the Ethernet Card parameters and exit the Ethernet Card Settings menu, HypotULTRA displays the following message:

The Ethernet Card will attempt to re-establish a connection with the server anytime you modify a parameter and exit the Ethernet Card Parameters Menu or use the command set at the end of this option description. Thus, if the IP Setup is set to AUTO, the Ethernet Card will request a new IP Address every time a parameter is edited and, as a result, the “Requesting IP Address. . .” message will appear.

Power Up

The Ethernet Card will be installed with the default options listed above. After the HypotULTRA initially powers up, the following pop-up message will appear:

NOTE: The “Requesting IP Address…” pop-up message only appears at power up when the Ethernet Card has its IP Setup

congured to AUTO.

There are two options to choose from this screen. Select the EXIT key to escape from this screen and stop the HypotULTRA from requesting an IP address or allow the HypotULTRA to request an IP address automatically from the network to which it is connected.



Page 92

The Ethernet Card will wait for an IP Address for approximately 20 seconds. If the HypotULTRA successfully receives an IP Address from the server the following pop-up message will be displayed:

If the HypotULTRA

fails to receive an IP Address after approximately 20 seconds, the following pop-up message will be

displayed:

IP Setup IP Setup is used to determine how the HypotULTRA will request an IP address from the

server to which it is connected. When AUTO is selected, the HypotULTRA will attempt to automatically request an IP Address from the server upon power up. To resolve the IP Address automatically, the HypotULTRA will use DHCP or BOOTP protocols. When MANUAL is

selected, the HypotULTRA will request a specic IP Address from the server. The IP Address that will be requested must be entered in the subsequent IP Address parameter eld.

IP Address A specic IP Address must be entered into this eld if the IP Setup parameter is congured

to MANUAL. Enter the IP Address that you wish using the numeric keypad. The IP Address must be entered in the following format: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. A valid IP Address must be entered. Users may not use the following IP Addresses:

255.255.255.255

000.000.000.000

Gateway IP A specic Gateway IP must be entered into this eld if the IP Setup parameter is congured

to MANUAL. Enter the Gateway IP using the touchscreen keypad. The Gateway IP must be entered in the following format: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.

Subnet Mask Select the Subnet Mask parameter using the touchscreen. A specic Subnet Mask must be

entered into this eld if the IP Setup parameter is congured to MANUAL. Enter the Subnet

Mask using the touchscreen keypad. The Subnet Mask must be entered in the following format: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.

If the IP Setup parameter is set to AUTO, you do not need to enter a Subnet Mask manually.

Device Name he Device Name is used to identify the HypotULTRA on your server and may be used in place

of a dedicated IP Address.

The Device Name parameter is only active when the IP Setup is set to AUTO.

• All of the above commands (excluding the query commands) will respond with the 06 hex (6 decimal) Acknowledge (ACK) ASCII control code if the transfer was recognized by the instrument.

• If there was an error with the command string, the instrument will respond with 15 hex (21 decimal), the Not Acknowledge (NAK) ASCII control code.

• However, the presence of this response does not mean that the instrument (in the case of these commands only) completed the command. These commands require a restarting of the hardware that controls the Ethernet Protocols. Because of this, you must wait before the Ethernet Card will respond to another command. See the table below for the approximate wait times necessary after one of the commands in the table is sent. In addition, the current socket connection between you terminal and the Ethernet Card is no longer valid, and you will need to close their current connection and establish a new one.

10 Burn Hipot Test

The Burn Hipot Test option allows you to repeat two ACW test periods during one step which yields a single test result. The rst

test of the step performs the Burn function and the second test performs the standard AC Withstand test. The Burn part of the test can also be deactivated by setting the Burn to OFF in the Edit menu of each step. When Burn is set to OFF the test will not be repeated, therefore only one ACW test will be performed. To activate the Burn mode, be sure that the Burn setting is set to ON for each step of the memory that the Burn period is required.

CAUTION

During the Burn period of the test the Max\Min Limits and ARC failures are disabled. If a Breakdown or Short occurs during the Burn function that exceeds 30mA the Burn test will be discontinued and proceed to the standard ACW test period. If the current remains below 30mA, the Burn test will continue for the full time that has been programmed before restarting the ACW test period.

The Burn Hipot Test option reduces the standard minimum Dwell time from 0.4 seconds to 0.1 seconds. The option optimizes the single test cycle time and results in a fast overall test cycle time of two tests in less than 600ms; measured from the Remote Test input to the Remote Pass output.

The Ramp UP, Dwell, and Ramp DN cycle times as well as the Test Voltage settings apply to both the Burn and standard ACW portions of the test. To minimize the cycle time and achieve the 600ms overall test time the Ramp UP and Dwell times must be set to the minimum of 0.1s and Ramp DN should be disabled by setting it to 0.0s.

In order to provide the decreased cycle time some of the instruments normal functions have been limited or disabled. If the Dwell time is set to less than 0.4 seconds the Real current meter, auto-ranging, and the Results selection in the System Menu will all be

disabled. The current meter range will be determined by the Max Limit setting of the tests. The meter will be set to a xed range

so that it can accurately measure the current to perform the Max limit judgment during the ACW period. The Results selection will be preset to “Last” and the “All” and “P/F” settings (Pass/Fail) will not be available.

The following specications will be altered by the installation of the Burn Hipot Test option, all other specications will remain the

same.

During the Burn period visual arcing or short circuit conditions that would typically disable the high voltage will cause the high voltage to be reactivated.

14 Mimic HU3 Command Set

The Mimic HU3 Command Set option for the new HypotULTRA allows you to emulate the HypotULTRA 3 making it a drop-in replacement for the older model. The new interface commands and structure of the HypotULTRA can emulate those of the HypotULTRA 3 interface. This will allow HypotULTRA 3 users to integrate the new model into existing test systems easier. For a complete list of bus commands for this option refer to the HypotULTRA 3 product manual.

The following specications apply to the Continuity Test with this option:

Appendix D - Remote BUS Interface: RS-232

This section provides information on the proper use and conguration of the bus remote interface. The USB/RS-232 remote interface is standard on the HypotULTRA but the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface option can be substituted for the USB/RS-232 interface. Please refer to Options for details on the HypotULTRA options. The USB/RS-232 interface uses the same command set as the GPIB interface for setting test parameters; however, many functions of the GPIB 488.2 interface are not available through USB/ RS-232. The IEEE-488 interface included with the HypotULTRA conforms to the requirements of the IEEE-488.2 standard.

The USB/RS-232 interface card requires you to download a driver in order for the instrument to recognize the USB interface. The driver can be found on the Associated Research website:

http://www.arisafety.com/products/software/USB-driver.aspx

Click on “USB/RS-232 Driver” to download the driver. This link contains an automatic extract and install program. Follow the instructions of the installation program to initialize the driver install. NOTE: The USB port acts as a USB to RS-232 converter. As a result, the PC will recognize the USB port as a virtual COM port.

USB/RS-232 Interface

This interface provides all of the control commands and parameter setting commands of the GPIB interface with the exception of some of the 488.2 Common Commands and SRQ capability. All commands can be found in USB/RS-232/GPIB Command List.

The identication command *IDN and the Status Reporting commands are also available through USB/RS-232.

RS-232 Connector

The RS-232 cabling should be congured as follows for a 9-pin serial port interface:

Communications Port Conguration

The COM port should have the following conguration:

• 38400 baud

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

This interface does not support XON/XOFF protocol or any hardware handshaking. The controller should be congured to ignore the handshaking lines DTR (pin 4), DSR (pin 6) CTS (pin 8) and RTS (pin 7). If the port cannot be congured through

software to ignore these lines the handshake lines should be jumpered together in two different sets. Pins 4 and 6 should be jumpered together and pins 7 and 8 should be jumpered together at the controller end of the cable.
