3.2 Installing the Software
It is best to first plug the Relay Scanner into the PC chassis, and follow the instructions on the screen for ‘New
Hardware Found’. . The first time you power up your computer with the Scanner installed, your computer will
detect the new Scanner and prompt you for a driver. The driver your computer requires is on Disk 1 (SM4040.inf).
Guide the computer to search for device driver on Disk1. Next run ‘setup’ provided in Disk1.
After the computer completes its boot process run the ‘SETUP’ program provided on Disk 1, to install the software.
This takes care of all installation and registration requirements of the software.
3.3 Installing the Scanner Module
Warning
To avoid shock hazard, install the Scanner only into a personal computer that has its power line connector
connected to an AC receptacle with an Earth Safety ground.
After installation, check to see that no loose wires or ribbon cables infringe upon any of the internal circuits
of the Scanner, as this may apply measurement voltages to your computer, causing personal injury and/or
damage to your computer!
Caution: Only install the Scanner module with the power turned OFF to the PC!
Use extreme care when plugging the Scanner module(s) into a PCI bus slot. The Scanner comes a DIN 96 pin
connector. Because of its necessary size, it is a tight fit in many PC chassis. Insert the bracket end of the Scanner
into your PC first, watching for any interference between the DIN 96 connector and your PC chassis. “Sliding” the
bracket end of the Scanner into the chassis may be helpful. Be patient! You should only have to install it once!
3.4 Scanner Connector Pin-out
Before using the Scanner, please take a few moments and review this section to understand where the multiplexed
and common signals are located in the DIN 96 position male connector are located. Under no circumstances
should voltage and current limits exceed the specified values, as personal injury or damage to the instrument,
your computer or application may result.
