•
SSF to Tester : Y end to SSF, 25 pin end to Serial extension cable, 9 pin end to
tester.
3.6 : Interfacing Printer :
•
A standard centronics port on DB25 F i.e. 25 pin D type female connector is provided.
It can be connected to any standard centronics printer available such as dot matrix, ink
jet, laser or bar code printers.
•
Label printing is added to print a label on every passed harness. Data to be
printed on every pass can be different for each cable number i.e. in case of CSTE,
10 different data can be stored in tester’s memory. For each cable type 1000
bytes are reserved for label data.
•
A complete label can be printed or if standard label is pre-printed then only variable
data can be printed.
•
Tester can print variables viz. Date, time, month and year of testing. To print these in
label data, at the place where date is to be printed, “@1” should be placed and for time
“@4” is to be placed etc.
•
To print special characters or bar codes, first of all printer has to be finalised. Label or
bar code printers accompany label printing software which generates an ASCII file to
be sent to printer for printing required data. Same file can be used by a little
modifications such as adding “#” characters at the start as well as end of the data and
adding character @ followed by required number, at required places for printing date
and time.
3.7 : Interfacing Relay output :
A potential free relay output with a capacity of 230V AC, 5A is provided on
a terminal strip on the back panel. This contact will be change over on every harness
passed for @ 3 seconds.
It can be used to glow a lamp or for hot stamping or for activating a
pneumatic circuit or for activating a solenoid. For inductive loads, use of snubber
circuit will prevent tester from malfunctioning.
P i.e. Pole and NO i.e. Normally Open get connected when relay is on and
pole and NC i.e. Normally Closed get open when relay is on.
