SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This chapter contains important safety instructions that you must follow during operation and storage. Read the following before any operation to ensure your safety and to keep the instrument in the best possible condition.

Safety Symbols

These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the instrument.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased.

General Guideline

CAUTION

 Do not place any heavy object on the ASR-3000.  Avoid severe impact or rough handling that

leads to damaging the ASR-3000.

 Do not discharge static electricity to the ASR-

3000.

 Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for

the terminals.

 Do not block the cooling fan opening.  Do not disassemble the ASR-3000 unless you are

qualified.

 If the equipment is used in a manner not

specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Safety Guidelines

ASR-3000 Programming Manual

Power Supply

WARNING

 AC Input voltage range:

200 ~ 240 Vac

 Frequency: 47 ~ 63 Hz  To avoid electrical shock connect the protective

grounding conductor of the AC power cord to an earth ground.

 The power switch that is included in the

instrument is not considered a disconnecting device.

 The permanently connected power input is used

as the disconnecting device and shall remain readily operable.

a. A switch or circuit-breaker must be included

in the installation

b. It must be suitably located and easily reached c. It must be marked as the disconnecting

device for the equipment.

d. It shall be located near the equipment

 Do not position the equipment so that it is

difficult to operate the disconnecting device.

 Ask for professional technician for installation.  It requires 200Vac input condition and the

maximum input current [15A (ASR-3200), 22.5A (ASR-3300), 30A (ASR-3400)], which conforms to cord diameter by local regulations.

 Breaker, of which the specification is required to

larger than 20A (ASR-3200), 30A (ASR-3300), 40A (ASR-3400) individually, should be in the near proximity of unit.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning the ASR3000

 Disconnect the circuit-breaker or permanently

connected power input before cleaning.

 Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.

 Do not use chemicals containing harsh material

such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.

Operation Environment

 Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,

almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)

 Relative Humidity: 20%~ 80%, no condensation  Altitude: < 2000m  Temperature: 0°C to 40°C

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The ASR-3000 falls under degree 2.

Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or

gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity”.

 Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive

pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

 Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution

occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

 Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-

conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature nor humidity is controlled.

Storage environment

 Location: Indoor  Temperature: -10°C to 70°C

 Relative Humidity: ≤90%, no condensation

Disposal

Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted municipal waste. Please use a separate collection facility or contact the supplier from which this instrument was purchased. Please make sure discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to reduce environmental impact.

Background

Realterm is a terminal program that can be used to communicate with a device attached to the serial port of a PC or via an emulated serial port via USB.

The following instructions apply to version

2.0.0.70. Even though Realterm is used as an example to establish a remote connection, any terminal program can be used that has similar functionality.

Note

Realterm can be downloaded on Sourceforge.net free of charge.

For more information please see http://realterm.sourceforge.net/

Operation

1. Download Realterm and install according to the

instructions on the Realterm website.

2. Connect the ASR-3000 via USB (page 21) or via

RS-232 (page 23).

3. If using RS-232, make note of the configured

baud rate, stop bits and parity.

4. Go to the Windows device manager and find

the COM port number for the connection. For example, go to the Start menu > Control Panel > Device Manager.

Double click the Ports icon to reveal the connected serial port devices and the COM port for the each connected device.

Using Realterm to Establish a Remote Connection

REMOTE CONTROL

If using USB, the baud rate, stop bit and parity settings can be viewed by right-clicking the connected device and selecting the Properties option.

5. Start Realterm on the PC as an administrator.

Click: Start menu>All Programs>RealTerm>realterm

Tip: to run as an administrator, you can right click the Realterm icon in the Windows Start menu and select the Run as Administrator option.

6. After Realterm has started, click on the Port tab.

Enter the Baud, Parity, Data bits, Stop bits and Port number configuration for the connection.

The Hardware Flow Control, Software Flow Control options can be left at the default settings.

Press Open to connect to the ASR-3000.
