RS 232 CONNECTIONS.
Connect the BOP 2KW
to a modem using a Null Modem patch cable at the RS
232 port located on the rear panel (See Figure 6). A
Null Modem cable is not required for older MAC com-
puters with D-sub serial port in which the RXD and
TXD line transposition is accomplished via external
hardware. The default baud rate is 9600; refer to the
Operator Manual to change it.
VIII — OPERATION.
Refer to Figures 3 and 4 for the function of front panel
controls and indicators for the
control and power
boost sections
, respectively.
Additional features covered in the Operator Manual
are: Quick Boot (eliminating the power- up displays),
use of the internal relay, operation via the LAN inter-
face or analog signals and setting coarse/fine adjust-
ment preference of the VOLTAGE and CURRENT
controls. An Installation/Operation Summary is also
included in the Operator Manual. The Operator Manual
also covers the GPIB, Ethernet and RS 232 interfaces,
including the use of the drivers downloadable from:
www.kepcopower.com/drivers/drivers-dl3.htm#bop1k.
TURNING THE POWER SUPPLY ON.
CAUTION:
DO NOT repeatedly toggle the cir-
cuit breaker/switch as this may
damage the unit.
Set POWER ON/OFF circuit breaker/switch on front
panel to ON. If actuator does not lock when released,
wait a few seconds before trying again. The circuit
breaker is “trip-free” design; if overload exists, contacts
cannot be held closed by actuator.

When the power supply is turned on, it per-
forms a brief self-test that includes testing the
three processors (analog, interface and dis-
play) and an inter-module test, then displays
