Desktop Programming the PRPC
The InterMotive “a-IPU” kit is sold separately and allows pro-
gramming the PRPC on your desktop. It consists of a 12VDC wall
adapter and download cable and works with the PRPC program-
ming software utility.
Note: Do not have the PRPC Programming Utility opened
until instructed to do so.
1. Plug the Module Desktop Power/Ground Supply inverter
into a 120V AC power source.
2. Locate the 6-Pin Female connector on the module but
do not connect the AC adapter to the PRPC module
until indicated in the following steps.
3. Plug the phone jack end of the download cable into the
J8 COMM port of the PRPC module and the USB end into
your PC.
J8 COMM Port
Loading your previously created Configuration file into the PRPC:
Open the PRPC Programming Utility. Under the “Home” tab on the PRPC Programming Utility,
choose the COM Port the USB cable is connected to.
Note
: This can be determined on Windows XP by right-clicking on ‘My Computer’ and selecting
‘Properties.’ From this window select the ‘Hardware’ tab and click on ‘Device Manager.’ In the De-
vice Manager window, expand the ‘Ports’ menu and the download cable will display as ‘USB Serial
Port.’
Click the ‘Open File’ button.
1. Open the PRPC*.ims or configuration file to load on the PRPC501-A module. (This file
must already be loaded on the computer).
2.
Click the load button on the computer screen. “Waiting” will come up next to the progress bar.
This means the program is waiting for the power to be plugged into the PRPC module.
3.
Plug in the 6 pin connector of the power adapter into the PRPC501-A module. The progress bar
on the computer screen will display status as the configuration loads and takes approximately 2
seconds or less. Configuration is loaded once the screen says “DONE” and programming is
complete.
4.
To verify that the correct data was loaded into the module, disconnect the 6 pin connector
from the module and press the ‘Get” button on the screen. Plug in the 6 pin connector and
the information will be displayed.
To program another module with the same configuration file, start with step 2.
