3.6 POWER CONNECTION
3.7 CONNECTING THE CABLES
3.7.1 RS485 cable
3.7.2 GPIB cable
3.7.3 AC cord
The GP485 is equipped with a three conductor power cable. The third conductor is the ground
conductor. When the cable is plugged-in to an appropriate receptacle, the GP485 is grounded. Under
no circumstances should the GP485 be operated without an adequate ground connection. If a two
contact receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced by a three contact receptacle, properly
grounded. This operation should be done by a qualified electrician. It is recommended to keep the AC
input wires separate from the communication cables to avoid interference.
Connect one end of the serial communication cable to the RS485 OUT connector located on the
GP485 rear panel. Connect the other end of the cable to the Zup power supply RS485/232 IN
connector. Be sure to use only shielded cable, and follow the RS485 cabling restrictions.
Connect one end of the GPIB cable to the GPIB connector located on the GP485 rear panel and tighten
the thumb screws on the connector. Connect the other end to the GPIB connector on the GPIB
controller. Be sure to use only shielded cable, and follow all IEEE488 cabling restrictions.
Connect the AC cord to the GP485 ac input connector located on the rear panel, then connect the plug
to an ac outlet of the correct voltage as specified in the specifications in chapter 2.
Turn off the AC input power before making or changing any rear panel connection.
Make sure that all connections are securely tightened before applying power.
On/Off switch is in the “Off” position. To avoid the hazard of electric shock,
Some components inside the GP485 are at AC voltage even when the
