The PC must have the following minimum configuration to program motor controllers: a. IBM® (or clone) Personal Computer (80286 or better) with 640 KB (512KB available) of RAM, a disk drive for a 3.5 inch diskette, A second disk drive ora hard disk is recommended for data stor- age. b. The GE SENTRY SOFTWARE® program will require an IBM 486DX/33 MHZ or faster com- patible computer to operate Real Time diagnos- tics . One open serial Communications Port, either COM 1 or COM 2.on the PC. 4. Shielded cable assembly, nine-pin DB-9 serial cable, male to female. [This cable assembly is a standard computer extension cable with straight- through wiring, Other cable lengths can be used that are within the serial cable limits of personal ‘computers (recommendation is less than 10 me- ters (30 ft).] This cable assembly is normally available from vendors of computer equipment. . Adapter cable for ZX controls. This cable has a female D-9 connector on one end and a Y-plug adapter on the other end. The cable can be constructed from individual parts. Cable connec- tor pin assignments are shown in TABLE 1. £. Adapter cable for SR controls. This cable has a female DB-25 connector on one end and a 12-pin (Y-plug available for ZX controllers) adapter on the other end. The cable can be constructed from individual parts. Cable connec- tor pin assignments are shown in TABLE 1. g. Some computers can require an adapter DB-25F (female) to DB-9 (male). Connector toconnector pin assignments are shown in TABLE 2. h. HYTECH™ software diskette (Hyster Part No. 897702). This diskette has two main programs: * a program to set traction or pump motor func~ tions, indicate status codes (possible malfunc- tions)and make adjustments to the operating lim- its set in the control cards. ‘+ acommunications program that permitsa remote computer to connect toa local computer through a telephone and modem connection. This com- munications program permits a service engineer ata remote location torun the local programs and make checks and adjustments to the lift truck. ‘TABLE 1.

Some files in the sul ries have the same file name as files in other subdirecto- ries, but are not the same. Make sure al files fora pro- ‘gram are installed correctly in their subdirectory or the programs will not work. NOTE: Future releases of this software diskette will have programs for other kinds of controllers. Make sure the correct program is used for your motor controller. Connect a PC to a Control Card Awarninc Prevent movementof the lift truckand possible inju- ry when making checks and adjustments. Before the PC is connected or disconnected to the control card or SEM Display Panel of the lift truck, do the follow- ing steps: 1. Raise the drive wheels. as described in the OP- ERATING MANUAL or the section PE- RIODIC MAINTENANCE of the SERVICE. MANUAL for this lift truck. 2. Turn the key to the OFF position, disconnect the battery and discharge the capacitor(s) as described in the motor controller section of the SERVICE MANUAL for your lift truck. ‘The capacitors can be discharged on lift trucks with the SEM Display Panel using the horn, Disconnect the battery connector, move the key to the OFF position and operate horn until it stops making a sound. Do NOT make a short-circuit at any of these motor controller terminals. Connect the personal computer (PC) to the smal (9 pin) connector on the back of the SEM Display Panel (under instrument panel). Connect the PC as shown in FIGURE 1. All other units without the SEM Display Panel, require connecting the computer at the motor controller. Connect the battery. NOTE: The ITW Switches programallowsatechnician touse the HYTECH or GE SENTRY SOFTWARE pro- gram through the SEM Display Panel. These programs allow the technician to create different lift truck operat- ing parameters for different users. The ITW Switches program is available on a3.5 inch software diskette. Re~ fer to How To Start The ITW Program (SEM Display Panel) of this manual. Use this procedure to connect the computer to the con- trol card or the SR or SP motor controller in units with- ‘out the SEM Display Panel. Turn the key switch to OFF. ‘Connect the PC adapter cable atthe connector Plug Y on. the control card (EV-100ZX, EV-T100) or to the 12-pinconnectorof the SR orSP motor controllers. See ‘TABLE 3. NOTE: If the control card or motor controller is on the ‘bench, make surethat the control card or motor control- leris connected toa 24 vde, 0.5 A power source.
