Installation Guideline

•Power on all components except the ADAM Module.

•Power the ADAM module on while shorting the INIT* and GND terminals (See Figure 2-3) or set the INIT switch to “Init” (See Figure 2-4)

•Configure the checksum status and/or the baud rate.

•Switch the power OFF to the ADAM Module.

•Remove the grounding of the INIT* terminal and turn on the module, or set the INIT switch to “Normal”.

•Check the settings (If the baud rate has changed, the settings on the host computer should be changed accordingly).
