2.6 Connecting the programmer to the PC Serial (COM) Port
The programmer communicates with a PC via the RS-232 Communications Port (J5).
The programmer is supplied with the following PC Serial Cables / Adaptors:
•
9-way D (Female) to 9-way D (Male) Serial Cable
•
9-way to 25-way Serial Adaptor
2.6.1 9-way PC Serial Port Connection
The 9-way serial cable should be connected between the 9-way D-connector on the programmer and
a spare 9-way RS-232 COM port on your PC.
2.6.2 25-way PC Serial Port Connection
If your PC has a 25-way D connector, you will need to plug the 9-25 way adaptor onto the end of the
9-9 way Serial Cable as shown in the diagram below.
2.6.3 USB Connection
If your PC does not have a COM port, it will be necessary to use a ‘USB to RS232 Convertor Cable’.
You can purchase a suitable cable from most PC retailers. Equinox can also supply a suitable cable.
Important note:
The programmer uses ALL of the
NINE
pins of the COM port for different purposes. It is therefore
imperative that the cable used to connect between the programmer and the PC COM port has all
NINE
cables connected. Failure to do this will result in the programmer not operating correctly.
