DESCRIPTION

This bulletin serves as a guide for the installation, configuration and operation
of the RS232 and RS485 serial communications plug-in cards for the
DP63000x. The plug-in cards are separately purchased option cards that plug
into the main circuit board of the meter. Only one communication card can be
used at a time.

DP6-SOFT is a Windows

®

based program that allows configuration of the
DP63000x meter from a PC. This software offers standard drop-down menu
commands, that make it easy to program the DP63000x meter. The DP63000x
program can then be saved in a PC file for future use. A DP63000x serial plug­in card is required to program the meter using the software.

INSTALLING PLUG-IN CARDS

The cards plug into the main circuit board of the meter as shown.

WARNING: Disconnect all power to the unit before

installing Plug-in card.

CAUTION: The Plug-in cards and main circuit board contain static

sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static
charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal
object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean
workstation. Also, only handle the cards by the edges. Dirt, oil or
other contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely
affect circuit operation.

WIRING CONNECTIONS

Connections to the serial communications cards are made through an RJ11
modular connector. Connector pin-outs for the RS485 and RS232 cards are
shown below.
