NOTE: Please remember to turn off power to the OOD before accessing the boards and connecting or disconnecting
any cables or wires. Turn on power to the unit once done.

enclosure and remove the cover.

An RS232 cable for connecting your PC to the OOD has been supplied with the OOD as well as a USB to serial
converter in case your computer does not have an RS232 serial port. If you haven't already done so, connect the
RS232 cable to the OOD Terminals as shown on page 18, FIG. 3-22

Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the serial port of your computer as shown on page 18, FIG. 3-23.
