into the ADAM-4500, can function as the host computer.
Power supply
For ease of use in industrial environments, the ADAM-4500 will accept industry standard +24 VDC
unregulated power. The ADAM-4500 was designed to operate using any power supply voltage
between +10 and +30 VDC. Power ripples must be limited to 5 V peak to peak while the voltage in
all cases must be maintained between +10 and +30 VDC.
Utility software
A disk containing menu-driven utility software is provided with ADAM-4500 to help users to
download programs to the ADAM-4500. The ADAM-4500 utility software is executed in an MS-
DOS or compatible environment.
Download cable
A customized download cable is included. A user can connect it between the COM port of a host
computer and the download port of the ADAM-4500 for downloading programs.
2.2 Steps to Successfully Setup the System
Step 1: Review the requirements
Before you power on the ADAM-4500, make sure you have a host computer, a power supply, and
the utility software and download cable.
Step 2: Wiring the power cables and download cable
Connect the power cable between the power supply and the ADAM-4500. Make sure the power
source is between +10 and +30 VDC.
Figure 2-1: Power Supply Connections
We advise use of the following standard colors (as indicated on the ADAM-4500) for the power
cables:
+Vs (R) Red
GND (B) Black
Connect the download cable between the host computer and the ADAM-4500. A customized
download cable is provided with the ADAM-4500, which includes a DB-9 pin connector for the
connection to the host computer, and three color-coded wires for connection to the ADAM-4500
terminal block. The following figure shows how to connect the ADAM-4500 to the host computer.
