2.3.8.1 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 Communications Device Class (CDC) device and is usually integrated in
current operating systems such as Windows 7 or 10. But it is strongly recommended to use and install the included
driver installer (on USB stick) to gain maximum compatibility of the device to our softwares.
2.3.8.2 Driver installation (Linux, MacOS)
We cannot provide drivers or installation instructions for these operating systems. Whether a suitable driver is
available can be found out by searching the Internet.
2.3.8.3 Alternative drivers
In case the CDC drivers described above are not available on your system, or for some reason do not function
correctly, commercial suppliers can help. Search the Internet for suppliers using the keywords “cdc driver windows“
or “cdc driver linux“ or “cdc driver macos“.
2.3.9 Installation of an interface module
ThevariousinterfacemoduleswhichareavailableforEL9000BHPseriescanberetrottedbytheuserandare
exchangeable with each other. The settings for the currently installed module vary and need to be checked and,
if necessary, corrected on initial installation and after module exchange.
• Common ESD protection procedures apply when inserting or exchanging a module!
• The device must be switched off before insertion or removal of a module!
• Never insert any other hardware other than these interface modules into the slot!
• If no module is in use it is recommended that the slot cover is mounted in order to avoid

Installation steps:
1. 2. 3.
Remove the slot cover.
If needed use a screw
driver.
Check that the fixing
screws of an already
installed module are fully
retracted. If not, unscrew
them (Torx 8) and re-
move module.
Insert the interface module into the slot. The
shape ensures correct alignment.
When inserting take care that it is held as
close as possible to a 90 ° angle to the rear
wall of the device. Use the green PCB, which
you can recognize on the open slot as, as
guide. At the end is a socket for the module.
On the underside of the module are two plastic
nibs which must click into the green PCB so
that the module is properly aligned on the rear
wall of the device.
Slide the module into place
as far as it will go.
The screws (Torx 8) are pro-
videdforxing the module
and should be fully screwed
in. After installation, the
module is ready for use and
can be connected.
Removal follows the reverse
procedure. The screws can
be used to assist in pulling
out the module.
