Connecting BeeProg2 / BeeProg+ to the PC

Using USB port
In this case, order of connecting USB cable and power supply to programmer is irrelevant.
Using LPT port
Switch off PC and programmer. Insert the communication cable included with your BeeProg2
/ BeeProg+ programmer package to a free printer port on your PC. If your computer is
equipped with only one printer port, substitute the programmer cable for the printer cable.
Connect the opposite cable end to the programmer. Screw on both connectors to counter-
connectors. This is very important. It may be uncomfortable to switch between printer cable
and programmer cable, though it is not recommended to operate the BeeProg2 / BeeProg+
programmer through a mechanical printer switch. Use of an electronic printer switch is
impossible. But you can install a second multi-I/O in your computer, thus obtaining a
supplementary printer port, says LPT2. So your printer may remain on LPT1 while the
programmer on LPT2.
Switch on the PC.
Connect the connector "8" to a mains plug using attached cable. At this time all 'work result'
LEDs (and 'POWER' LED) light up successive and then switch off. Once the POWER LED
lights with low brightness then the BeeProg2 / BeeProg+ programmer is ready to run.
Next run the control program for BeeProg2 / BeeProg+.
Caution! If you don't want to switch off your PC when connecting the BeeProg2 / BeeProg+,
proceed as follows:
• When connecting the programmer to the PC: FIRST insert the communications cable
and THEN the power-supply connector.
• When disconnecting the programmer from the PC: FIRST disconnect the power-supply
connector and THEN the communication cable.
From BeeProg2 / BeeProg+ point of view the connecting and disconnecting sequence is
irrelevant. Protection circuits on all programmer inputs keep it safe. But think of your PC
please.
