Connecting the analog interface
The 15-pole connector (Type: Sub-D, D-Sub) on the rear side is an analog interface. To connect this to a controlling hardware
(PC, electronic circuit), a standard plug is necessary (not included in the scope of delivery). It’s generally advisable to switch
the device completely off before connecting or disconnecting this connector, but at least the DC output.

Connecting the Share bus
The “Share BUS” connectors on the rear side (2x BNC type) can be used to connect to the Share bus of further units. The
main purpose of the Share bus is to balance the voltage of multiple units in parallel operation. For further information about
parallel operation refer to section
“3.10.1. Parallel operation in master-slave (MS)“ .
For the connection of the share bus the following must be paid attention to:
Connection is only permitted between compatible devices (see
“1.9.10. “Share BUS” connector“
for
details) and between a max. of 64 units

Connecting the USB port (rear side)
In order to remotely control the device via this port, connect the device with a PC using the included USB cable and switch
the device on.
2.3.11.1 Driver installation (Windows)
On the initial connection with a PC the operating system will identify the device as new hardware and will try to install a driver.
The required driver is for a Communication Device Class (CDC) device and is usually integrated in current operating systems
such as Windows 7 or 10. But it’s strongly recommended to use the included driver installer (on USB stick) to gain maximum
compatibility to our softwares.
2.3.11.2 Driver installation (Linux, MacOS)
We can’t provide drivers or installation instructions for these operating systems. Whether a suitable driver is available is best
carried out by searching the Internet.
2.3.11.3 Alternative drivers
In case the CDC drivers described above are not available on your system, or for some reason do not function correctly, com-
mercial suppliers can help. Search the Internet for suppliers using the keywords “cdc driver windows“ or “cdc driver linux“ or
“cdc driver macos“.

•
Confirm that the connection cables to be used are of a satisfactory cross section!
•
Check if the factory settings of set values, safety and monitoring functions and communication are suitable for your intended
application of the device and adjust them if required, as described in the manual!
•
In case of remote control via PC, read the additional documentation for interfaces and software!
•
In case of remote control via the analog interface, read the section in this manual concerning analog interfaces!
2.3.13
Commission after a firmware update or a long period of non-use
In case of a firmware update, return of the equipment following repair or a location or configuration change, similar measures
should be taken to those of initial start up. Refer to
Only after successful checking of the device as listed may it be operated as usual.
