2.9.2 USB Connection

Requirements to connect the probe PMM EP-600/601/602/603/604 to PC
USB:

In some cases the 8053-OC connected with an USB HUB or USB
extension might not work properly. Connect the 8053-OC to an USB
port of PC directly.

Install the supplied driver software before connecting the USB-RS232
adapter; the driver can also be downloaded directly from the
following

Web

site

http://manhattan-support.com/usb-to-serial-

converter .

- Connect the USB-RS232 adapter to the first available PC USB port
- Connect the 8053-OC to the USB-RS232 converter

- match the colors of the EP-600/601/602/603/604 fiber optic connectors
with the colors of the fiber optic adapters:

- match the colors of the FO-EP600/10 extension connectors with colors of
the fiber optic adapters:
