ISOLATING RS 232 COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS [STANDARD MODELS ONLY]
A Loop Back test can be run from the KLR front panel to aid in isolating RS 232 communications
problems.
1. With the power supply in local mode, if the status display shows
SET
, tap either the
CUR-
RENT
or
VOLTAGE
controls to take the unit out of setpoint mode (status display goes from
SET
to blank)
2. Use a thin tool (e.g., a paper clip), to press the
FUNCTION
switch repeatedly until the status
display shows
UTIL
. Press the
DC OUTPUT
switch to enter the Utilities menu. Rotate either
the
VOLTAGE
or
CURRENT
control until the status display shows
LBT
(Loop Back Test). At
this point the VOLTS display will show
----
.
3. With the power supply's RS 232 port open (no connections), press the
DC OUTPUT
switch
once to run the test. The
VOLTS
display should show FAIL; if it reads PASS, the power sup-
ply is defective and requires repair.
4. Install the loop-back test connector (P/N 195-0112) at the RS 232 port, located on the rear
panel of the power supply. (If the loop back test connector is not available, install a jumper
from pin 2 to pin 3 of the RS 232 port connector.) Press the
DC OUTPUT
switch once to
rerun the test. The
VOLTS
display should now read
PASS
; if it reads
FAIL
, the power supply
is defective and requires repair.
5. To test the integrity of the cable assembly connecting the power supply RS 232 port to the
computer, remove the loop back test connector or jumper and connect the cable in its place.
Install a jumper wire from pin 2 to pin 3 at the opposite end of the cable and repeat the test of
(step 4) above. If the
VOLTS
display reads
FAIL
, the cable is either the improper type (not
null modem) or defective. If the
VOLTS
display reads
PASS
, the cable is correct. Remove the
jumper and reconnect the cable to the computer.
6. To exit the utilities menu, press the
FUNCTION
switch repeatedly until the status display is
blank.
If each of the above steps is completed successfully, the problem lies in the computer hard-
ware and/or software. Refer to the Product Support area of the Kepco website for additional
