Connecting DATAMAN-48PRO2 /
DATAMAN-48PRO2C to the PC
Using USB port
Recommendation for connecting programmer to PC:
1. make ground connection between programmer and PC or other ground
2. connect programmer with PC via USB cable
3. connect power supply to programmer and turn on by power switch “6”.
Using LPT port
Switch off PC and programmer. Insert the LPT communication cable to a free printer port on
your PC. If your computer is equipped with only one printer port, substitute the programmer
cable for the printer cable. Connect the opposite cable end to the programmer. Screw on both
connectors to counter-connectors. This is very important. It may be uncomfortable to switch
between printer cable and programmer cable, though it is not recommended to operate the
DATAMAN-48PRO2 programmer through a mechanical printer switch. Use of an electronic
printer switch is impossible. But you can install a second multi-I/O in your computer, thus
obtaining a supplementary printer port, says LPT2. So your printer may remain on LPT1 while
the programmer on LPT2.
Switch on the PC.
Connect the connector “8” to a mains plug using attached cable and turn on by power switch
“6. At this time all 'work result' LEDs (and 'POWER' LED) light up successive and then switch
off. Once the POWER LED lights with low brightness then the DATAMAN-48PRO2
programmer is ready to run.
Next run the control program for DATAMAN-48PRO2.
Caution! If you don't want to switch off your PC when connecting the DATAMAN-48PRO2,
proceed as follows :
When connecting the programmer to the PC: FIRST insert the communications cable and
THEN the power-supply connector.
When disconnecting the programmer from the PC: FIRST disconnect the power-supply
connector and THEN the communication cable.
From DATAMAN-48PRO2 point of view the connecting and disconnecting sequence is
irrelevant. Protection circuits on all programmer inputs keep it safe.
But think of your PC
please .
