Section 3 – Connecting the GSC400 to your PC.
WARNING: NEVER CONNECT THE GSC400 PROGRAMMING CABLE
INTO THE UNIT IF THE GSC400 IS POWERED ON.
The GSC400 is easily connected to your
PC for Reading, Configuration and
programming. The GSC400 has a serial
programming connector, which is identified
on the labeling. A GSC400 programming
cable must be used between the GSC400
controller and the PC for monitoring and
programming capabilities. The GSC400
programming cable may be attached to
the GSC400 in the serial connector
location. The cable will be attached to the
PC via the PC’s serial port interface. If no
serial interface exists on your PC, a Figure1 – Serial Connector
USB-Serial adapter may be used to allow
connection. When installing the GSC400
program cable into the controller’s serial
connector, be certain to take notice of the
polarity of both connectors. The
programming cable must be installed with
the red marking facing towards the top of
the GSC400 as seen in figure 3. Only
connect the GSC400 programming cable
into the unit if the GSC400 is powered off,
installing the cable with the controller
power on may cause permanent damage.
With the programming cable connected to Figure2 – Connector Polarity
both the GSC400 and the PC’s serial
interface, the GSC400 is now ready for
programming. Please contact DynaGen if
additional cables or programming
connectors are required.
