AFGZP0BA – SMART CONSOLE - User Manual
3.3 Serial connection (internal AA batteries)
The use of the Smart Console with serial connection is very similar to the use of
the Console Ultra.
CONNECT THE CONSOLE
To connect the Smart Console to the target, it is required to have a CNX-to-
Molex SPOX cable. This cable must end with a Molex SPOX plug which is
exactly the same as in the standard Zapi console Ultra.
Further details about this cable are in section 4.3.1.
1) Verify batteries are in the battery holder
2) Connect the cable
3) Turn on the console by pressing the ON button. This passage can be
skipped if desired because the console can be turned on in later passages
too.
4) Connect the Molex SPOX plug to target controller.
5) Turn on the controller by closing its key switch,
6) If console wasn’t turned on at step 3), turn it on now.
U
By default the Smart console turns on with CAN interface active. However it
detects by itself the presence of the serial cable. The console will disable
the submenus which are not usable with the chosen connection mean. So,
when connected to serial cable, it won’t be possible to access menu about
CAN connection.
HOME SCREEN
After showing the Zapi logo, the HOME SCREEN will appear on the display:
From top:
First line tells which firmware version is running inside the console, in this
case ZP 0.15
RS232 Console: enter this menu to start a serial connection as in the
Console Ultra
