This is an optional procedure to change the data rate of the USB-
ISOLATOR to high speed.  

 

 

1) 

To Switch to High Speed (12Mbps):  

Remove jumpers J1 and J2 and 

replace as shown below (left most position).   

 

Note:

  If both jumpers are not set the same the unit will not function properly 

 

 

 

2)  Carefully place board back into enclosure and mate both sides of 

enclosure.  Install the screw in the bottom of enclosure.  The isolator is 
now ready for operation. 

 
 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

POSSIBLE FIX 

The power LED does not light up when plugged into USB port… 

No power on the USB port or USB 
port is bad. 

Try plugging the unit into another 
USB port. 

USB A-B cable is bad. 

Replace cable. 

Cannot communicate with device connected through the Isolator

… 

Your computer does not support 
the peripheral . 

 

Your device does not support 
12Mbps. 

Try changing internal jumpers to low 
speed (see page 5). 

You do not have the speed set 
identically for each side. 

Verify internal jumpers are BOTH set 
to the same speed. 

The LED is ON and the peripheral is powered but the computer will not 
prompt me to indicate 

the device is connected… 

Loose connection. 

Check both cable connections, make 
sure they are properly and securely 
fitted into the USB connection ports 
at both ends. 

The PC could not recognize the 
device. 

Press the ‘reset connection’ button on 
the USB isolator.  If this does not 
work, try replugging the cable. 

I plug in my device but the power LED is blinking and the computer will not 
prompt me that a device is connected... 

Peripheral is drawing too much 
current for the isolator. 

The USB isolator will not provide 
more than 120mA to peripheral, 
Unplug peripheral and plug it directly 
into PC (this is not isolated).
