2. Precautions
2.1. General safety regulations
Work on the hydraulics control electronics may only be carried out by trained
personnel who are well-acquainted with the control system, the machine and its
safety regulations.
WARNING
Mounting, modification, repair and maintenance must be carried out in accordance
with the manufacturer's regulations. The manufacturer has no responsibility for any
accidents caused by incorrectly mounted or incorrectly maintained equipment. The
manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for the system being incorrectly
applied, or the system being programmed in a manner that jeopardizes safety.
Precautions
WARNING
Damaged product may not be used. If the control system shows error functions or if
electronic modules, cabling or connectors are damaged, the system shall not be
used.
WARNING
Electronic control systems in an inappropriate installation and in combination with
strong electromagnetic interference fields can, in extreme cases, cause an
unintentional change of speed of the output function.
NOTICE
As much as possible of the welding work on the chassis should be done before the
installation of the system. If welding has to be done afterwards, the electrical
connections on the system must be disconnected from other equipment. The
negative cable must always be disconnected from the battery before disconnecting
the positive cable. The ground wire of the welder shall be positioned as close as
possible to the place of the welding. The cables on the welding unit shall never be
placed near the electrical wires of the control system.

2.1.1. Construction regulations
CAUTION
The vehicle must be equipped with an emergency stop which disconnects the supply
voltage to the control system's electrical units. The emergency stop must be easily
accessible to the operator. The machine must be built if possible, so that the supply
voltage to the control system's electrical units is disconnected when the operator
leaves the operator’s station.
2.1.2. Safety during installation
CAUTION
Incorrectly positioned or mounted cabling can be influenced by radio signals which
can interfere with the functions of the system.
2.1.3. Safety during start-up
Precautions
WARNING
The machine's engine must not be started before the control system is mounted and
its electrical functions have been verified.
Ensure that no one is in front, behind or nearby the machine when first starting up
the machine.
Follow the instructions for function control in the Start-up section.
2.1.4. Safety during maintenance and fault diagnosis
CAUTION
Ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled before any work is carried out on
the hydraulics control electronics.
• The machine cannot start moving.
• Functions are positioned safely.
• The machine is turned off.
• The hydraulic system is relieved from any pressure.
• Supply voltage to the control electronics is disconnected.

3. USB-DLA Description
The purpose of a Data Link Adapter (DLA) is implied by its name: it is an adapter
that provides a link between two different data networks or protocols. The Parker
Vansco DLA provides the link between a PC and an automotive network.
Information from the engine and transmission is converted into a format that a
laptop can understand. The DLA transfers data from computer ports (USB) to
vehicle ports (J1939, J1708).
The Data Link Adapter is sold in kit form, with all of the necessary cables and
connectors included. This manual explains the contents of the kit, and how to set up
3.1. Contents of USB-DLA kit
and use the DLA for USB communication.
The USB-DLA kit is supplied in a high density polyethylene, blow-molded case. The
kit includes the following:

4. Software Installation
The software for the USB-DLA should be installed before plugging the DLA into your
computer.
i
INFORMATION
If you plug in the DLA first, Windows™ will try to install its own USB drivers. You will
have to cancel this driver installation and Windows™ may ignore the device the next
time it is plugged in.
The software installation is done in three parts:
1. Install the USB-DLA drivers on your PC.
2. Plug in the DLA and let the PC recognize the device and load the USB drivers.
Software Installation
3. Install the applications.
4.1. Installing the USB drivers
You must be logged on as an administrator to install the USB-DLA drivers. The latest
drivers for the USB-DLA are available from Parker Electronic Controls Division
website: http://www.parker.com/ecd. Go to the Customer Toolbox and select Vansco
DLA and PGM Drivers. Extract the setup files and save them to a temporary directory
using WinZip. Run the setup.exe program to launch the setup.
