With other devices (which support the download feature) the procedure is analogous. 2.1 Danger Warning EX instructions for construction/installation (e.g. DIN EN 6007960079 -14; VDE 0165) must be strictly followed! Generally a laptop lap top computer is not explosion proof, and therefore must not be o p erated within areas liable to explosion (e.g. driver’s cab)! The protection circuits of the Sening components are laid out for power supply voltage on board of a truck (24V). For safety reaso reasons ns only laptops powered by batteries (lap (la p top power supply voltage <24V) shall be used, therefore. It is strictly prohibited to connect a mainsmains-powered laptop or PC! *** Any kind of manipulation, either mechanical or electrical, is prohibited.*** EXPLOSION HAZARD • Instructions on EX signs must be strictly followed. • It is not permissible to fit any additional components in the housings or in the terminal boxes (e.g. additional terminals), since this would contravene the device approval. • Any right to claim warranty is waived if this rule is not adhered to. 2.2 Required Hardware Connect PC Adapter (F. A. Sening Part No. MFLOW-PCADAP) to the printer cable of the Sening system instead of the printer. In addition you need a serial cable with adequate length provided with the following seizures: 9 point SUB-D female plug to connect to the serial port of the laptop (normally COM1) 25 point SUB-D male plug to connect to the PC adapter Pin 5 Pin 7 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 3 Pin 2 Any standard modem cable (1:1 connection, not a cross-over cable!) is equipped with this kind of seizure. Beschr.-Nr: DOK-435E Gedruckt auf chlorfrei gebleichtem Papier Rev. 1.00 GE / Date: 10.Jul.2001 Page 2 of 10 Sening Systems Software Update Procedure 2.3 Procedure Check correct functioning of the system.
