Connecting the analog interface

The 15 pole connector (Type: Sub-D, D-Sub) on the rear side is an analog interface. To connect this to a control-
ling hardware (PC, electronic circuit), a standard plug is necessary (not included in the scope of delivery). It is
generally advisable to switch the device completely off before connecting or disconnecting this connector, but at
least the DC output.
The analog interface is galvanically isolated from the device internally. Therefore do not
connect any ground of the analog interface (AGND) to the DC minus output as this will
cancel the galvanic isolation.
2.3.10

Connecting the USB port

In order to remotely control the device via this port, connect the device with a PC using the included USB cable
and switch the device on.
2.3.10.1 Driver installation (Windows)
On the initial connection with a PC the operating system will identify the device as new hardware and will try to
install a driver. The required driver is for a Communications Device Class (CDC) device and is usually integrated in
current operating systems such as Windows 7 or 10. But it is strongly recommended to use and install the included
driver installer (on USB stick) to gain maximum compatibility of the device to our softwares.
2.3.10.2 Driver installation (Linux, MacOS)
We cannot provide drivers or installation instructions for these operating systems. Whether a suitable driver is
available is best carried out by searching the Internet.
2.3.10.3 Alternative drivers
In case the CDC drivers described above are not available on your system, or for some reason do not function
correctly, commercial suppliers can help. Search the Internet for suppliers using the keywords "cdc driver windows"
or "cdc driver linux" or "cdc driver macos".

Initial commission

For the first start-up after purchasing and installing the device, the following procedures have to be executed:
• Confirm that the connection cables to be used are of a satisfactory cross section
• Check that the default settings for set values, safety and monitoring functions and communication are suitable
for your application and change them where necessary, as described in the manual
• In case of remote control via PC, read the additional documentation for interfaces and software
• In case of remote control via the analog interface, read the section in this manual concerning analog interfaces
and, where needed, other appropriate documentation especially concerning the use of such interfaces
