           Software – Installation              
   Driver and Heatmaster Software

1 General order of the Installation

A Connect the Heatmaster hardware (Power and USB cable – PC is switched off)

B

 Install the USB- and serial drivers*

C Install the Heatmaster software and follow the instructions for the installation.*

      * The order driver and software installation could be changed. But the software should be 
      started after the installation of the drivers, so the port is accessible.

 

2 Driver installation

The Heatmaster hardware will be found and Windows will ask for a suitable driver. Confirm or give 
manually the current location of the driver through giving the file path. Turn off the virus-scan or 
firewall programs before the installation if necessary.

ATTENTION: No automatic identification of the serial port for Bluetooth compatibility. 
Please note down the corresponding port number of the serial port during the driver 
installation or look over the installation in the device manager.
