    Once all connections have been made and the input cable is plugged into the AC source, the unit will automatically power up. At the initial startup the RHF will run at the default settings (26 Volt Output for 24V units and 13 Volt Output for 12V units. Current Limit is set to 105%). In order to change these settings simply press the SET button to enter configuration mode.

  • Page 9: Setting Output Voltage

    Press the SET switch with “MAINS VOLTAGE” selected in order to view the Voltage from the AC mains. The Mains Voltage is not a setting; it is simply a way to view the AC Voltage present to the RHF. Press BACK to return to the configuration menu.

    Press the SET switch with “TEMP. COMP.” selected in order to set Temperature Compensation. The asterisk (*) on the display indicates the current setting. When enabled the output voltage will change dynamically in respects to the internal temperature of the RHF. > TEMP. COMP.

  • Page 11: Default Setting

    Go to the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties in windows and change the computer IP address using the specified Subnet mask (255.255.255.0). The RHF is setup with a Static IP. The default static IP is 192.168.1.100. If more than one RHF are to be used on a network, the IP address will need to be changed manually.
  • Page 12 To change the IP address, enter 192.168.1.100 into the browser address bar. The RHF home page shown on the next page will load. Click the network configuration button to the left. The IP address can be changed on the network configurations page Open an internet browser and type the default IP address in the address bar.
  • Page 13 The Board Configuration screen includes the MAC Address, the name of the RHF, and all of the IP information. The name can be changed to differentiate the different RHF units connected on the same network. In the example below, we change the “Host Name” to LMC1 and the “IP Address” to 192.168.1.26 .
  • Page 14 Page below allows the configuration of the SNMP settings. As soon as the Save Config button is clicked, the website will show the following message. The connection to the RHF will be lost.
