How to Operate the Voltage Amplifier

view of the supply side

view of the actuator side

The communication between the nano box USB and the PC is realized via a virtual COM port (VCP). The VCP
allows the use of any terminal program (HyperTerminal, HTERM, ...).

The two-color LED for monitoring indicates the fault condition and the status of the nano box USB. The
different states are represented as follows:

LED

Explanation

permanent RED

There is no USB connection to the PC.

permanent GREEN

OK.

flashing RED at short intervals

Error, see

Error Double Word

flashing GREEN at short intervals

The actuator is moving.

flashing GREEN at wide intervals

The actuator recognition is in progress.
