IR Head Bracket

IR HEAD BRACKET
To facilitate reading and programming multiple encoders, the IR head bracket is recommended. The bracket is easy to attach and remove.

Attaching the bracket to an encoder

1. Open the lid of the encoder.
2. With the bracket guide pointing to the encoder lid hinge, slide the bracket onto the encoder (Figure 2) so the guide ts on both sides of the hinge.
Push gently to make sure the bracket guide is completely seated against the encoder lid hinge, and you can see the IR port through bracket opening as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 1: Slide bracket onto encoder
3. Place the optical head of the IR cable in the bracket, with the nubs on the back seated in the slots of the bracket. See Figure 3. This placement facilitates correct alignment between the IR head and the encoder IR port.
The encoder is ready for programming.

Removing the bracket from an encoder

When you are finished programming an encoder, remove the bracket.
Hold the encoder with one hand and pull the bracket gently with the other hand, straight off the encoder. The bracket should come off will little resistance.

Using the Programmer Software

USING THE PROGRAMMER SOFTWARE
Use the Programmer software to view and change the parameters that are currently programmed into the encoder, and program new parameters, if needed. You can also clear the encoder reading.
OTE:N If you need help installing the software, see the instructions "Installing the Programmer Software" on page 20.
1. Connect the IR programming and data prole cable (IR cable) to the serial port of the computer with the installed
programming software.
If the computer does not have a serial port, use a Serial-to-USB adapter. See the "Parts List" on page 5.
OTE:N Connect the IR cable before you start the software to make sure the software recognizes the
IR cable connection.
2. Double-click the LCD Programmer shortcut to start the software application.
The License Agreement displays the first time you access the software.
Figure 4: Software shortcut
3. Read the License Agreement and click
Accept License.
OTE:N The License Agreement must be accepted
by an authorized representative of the customer/licensee. If you select Decline License, the application will not start.
The Splash (sign-in) screen displays (Figure 6). The screen includes the software version, access to the license and trademarks information, and the User ID/Initials field.
Figure 5: Software license agreement
4. Enter your initials in the UserID/Initials eld. A user ID of 3…7 characters is required to activate the OK button.
Then click OK.
OTE:N Your sign-in initials are used in the product
log file to record any changes you make to the LCD encoder.
The software Programmer screen opens.

Using the Programmer Software
5. When the Programmer screen opens, select the correct COM port for the IR cable using the
IR Port drop-down menu.
OTE:N If the correct COM port is not selected,
the software will be unable to read the encoder. For help with the COM port, see "COM Port" on page 22.

Performing a Read

Make sure the IR head is aligned with the IR port of the encoder. Then click the Read button.
If the correct COM port is selected and a good response is received, the software determines the encoder type and populates the Programmer screen data fields as shown in Figure 8. For more information, see"Encoder
Types" on page 9.
If the encoder is programmed the way you want, disconnect it from the IR bracket. If not, see "Change
Current Settings" on page 10.

Figure 8: Encoder Read

Read Errors

If no COM port is selected, the error message in Figure 9 displays. Click OK, select the COM port, and click Read again.
Figure 9: No COM port selected
Figure 10: Wrong COM port selected
If the wrong COM port is selected, the error message in Figure 10 displays. Click Cancel, select the correct COM port, and click Read again.
