SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
The Model MST 488-27 has been carefully inspected and tested prior to packing. Inspect the
shipping carton upon receipt for evidence of damage during transit. Save the original packing
material. If any indication of damage is found, file a claim immediately with the responsible
transport service.
For repairs of a product damaged in shipment, contact the Kepco Factory Representative near-
est you or the Kepco Sales Department directly for further instruction.
2.2 INSTALLATION
The installation and set-up procedure for the MST 488-27 consists of the following steps:
1. Set Device Address and/or configure RS 232 port (PAR. 2.2.1).
2. Select start-up language (SCPI or CIIL), GPIB addressing (Primary/Secondary) and Com-
patibility Mode (PAR. 2.2.2).
3. Set Shield Ground Jumper (PAR. 2.2.3).
4. Perform final system inteconnections (PAR. 2.2.4).
2.2.1 SET (GPIB) DEVICE ADDRESS, CONFIGURE RS 232 (SEE FIGURE 2-1)
A single set of DIP switches, accessible through an access hole on the top (see Figure 2-1), are
used both to set the GPIB Device Address (the factory default is 6) and to configure the RS 232
port. The following paragraphs explain how to proceed if using GPIB only (PAR. 2.2.1.1), RS
232 only (PAR. 2.2.1.2) or both (PAR. 2.2.1.3). RS 232 connections are explained in PAR.
2.2.1.4) and RS 232 operation is described in PAR. 3.3.
NOTE: When a jumper is present between CTS and RTS at the MST 488-27, the DIP switches
configure the RS 232 port as well as set the GPIB address. If the default RS 232 con-
figuration will be used, be sure the RS 232 cable has no internal connections between
CTS and RTS.
2.2.1.1 USING GPIB ONLY
The Device Address is the permanent Listener and Talker address of the MST 488-27 on the
GPIB. It is factory preset to address 6. If a different Device Address is required in your system,
proceed as follows. There are 31 (0-30) possible choices (See Table 2-1).
1. Place MST 488-27 power module controller with the top of the unit facing you, front panel to
the right.
2. The Device Address DIP switches are positions 1 through 5 (from right to left, see Figure
2-1). These switches are preset by Kepco to address 6. For other device addresses set
them according to Table 2-1.
