Windows™ XP® Professional and Vista Business or Ultimate, to
program or observe operation of the PowerLine module.
The unit is USB compatible comes with all the cables needed to start
work immediately.

USB expansion hubs with maximum load limitations ). The unit has
TX and RX LED’s available to allow the user to observe activity on
the communications cable.
The kit has all the parts you will need to connect and/or externally
power the interface as required.
To begin using the Opto 3000, Locate a free USB communications
port on your computer . Connect and secure one end of the supplied
USB cable into the port of the computer, the other end into the Opto3000 connector.


Important NOTE:

The optical interface head that mechanically connects to the PowerLine module has a ‘RED mark’ on
one end - This mark should be facing towards the “PWR OK” indicator.
