Initial Setup
USB Driver Installation
Your HM5000 instrument is compatible with most computers with a USB socket,
but first the USB drivers may need to be installed. The drivers are located on
the HM5000 CD ROM and are available for all versions of Windows post-95.
Follow the procedure to ensure that the USB drivers are correctly installed.
• Insert the CD ROM into the CD drive.
• Ensure that the HM5000 instrument is connected to a
power supply using the 12V DC adapter.
• Unscrew the blue protector cap on the rear of the HM5000, connect the
waterproof USB cable to the HM5000 instrument, and tighten the screw cap.
• Connect the other end of the USB cable to an available USB port on your PC.
• Turn on the HM5000 by depressing the green power switch on the
top of the instrument. The green indicator LED should turn on.
• Windows will run the ‘install new hardware wizard’.
• When asked if Windows can connect to Windows update
to search for software, select ‘No, not this time’.
• Select ‘Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)’
• Check ‘Include this location in search’ if applicable, and navigate to the CD ROM drive.
• Windows should install the drivers.
• Once complete, the wizard will run again. Use the same settings as before.
• Once Windows has installed the drivers, reboot the computer.
