Figure 16: Programming (PA with Cannon Plug)

5.1.2

Without Cannon Plug Attached To PA

Communication between the PA and the Handheld Programmer requires translation

by the Programmable Adapter - Programmer Interface (PA-PI), P/N 500-8000.
To program a PA, attach it to the PA-PI, using the six wires coming from the PA.

Attach them to the connector on top of the PA-PI matching the wire color codes to

the designated pins on the connector.
Connect the PA-PI to the Handheld Programmer using cable P/N 611-0111 and

mating the cable female 22-pin circular connector to the male connector on the PA-PI,

as shown in Figure 17.
