    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ELIVERY Some configurations may have a different cable and/or bracket. See tune up procedure for more details. Figure 1: delivery ABELS LOCATION DENTIFICATION LABEL ERIAL NUMBER Do not remove the labels ETTINGS Depending on the TMA configuration chosen, the settings are either done using 2 encoders with 16 positions each or using RS-232 serial communication.

  • Page 8: Parameters Description

    Depending on the chosen TMA configuration, the settings are made using two encoding wheels with 16 positions each and/or using an RS-232 link. The parameters described here are for the TMA-296 configuration. Other parameters may apply to other TMA configurations.
  • Page 9: Configuration & Tune-Up Tma-296

    CONFIGURATION & TUNE-UP TMA-296 The TMA-296 is equipped with two encoding wheels for manual setting. It is also equipped with an RS-232 link giving access to a wide range of parameters. By default, the settings are made via the encoder wheels...

  • Page 11: Settings Through Rs-232

    SETTINGS THROUGH RS-232 To switch to the RS-232 configuration, it is necessary to switch the parameter to "RS-232" (see 2.2.1.1, p. 12). The parameters are set using the protocol over RS-232 serial communication. The RS-232 settings to be used for communication with the device are: •...
