I — INTRODUCTION
SCOPE OF MANUAL. This Quick Start Guide covers
the installation, checkout and operation of the Kepco BIT
4886 Card installed in a BOP power supply. Full specifica-
tions and operating procedures are listed in the Operator
Manual that can be downloaded from the Kepco web site:
• www.kepcopower.com/support/opmanls.htm#bit
DESCRIPTION. The Kepco BIT Card Series were
designed as an accessory for the Kepco BOP series bipo-
lar power supplies. The BIT 4886 card acts as an interface
between the digital data bus and the BOP, accepting the
digital input data and converting it to an analog signal,
which in turn, controls the BOP output.
II — INSTALLATION
CAUTION: If the BIT card was not pre-installed in a
BOP at Kepco, you must install and calibrate the card
by following the instructions in the Operator Manual
which can be downloaded from the Kepco website (see
above). Failure to calibrate the unit could impact the
accuracy of settings and readbacks. It will not impact
remote operation of the unit.
STARTUP DEFAULT. The Device Address (GPIB
address) for the interface card is set by means of DIP
switch S1, positions 1 through 5 (Figure 1) which can be
accessed through the top cover of the BOP. It is factory
preset to address 6. If a different Device Address is
required in your system, there are 31 (1-31) possible
choices (see Table 1).
