DSA3200-PTP

SECTION 3: OPERATION

Unpack & Inventory
When you first unpack the DSA-PTP module, begin by
inspecting and inventorying the contents of the package. If
any visible damage is immediately noticed or if any con-
tents are missing, contact Scanivalve before proceeding.
Standard modules are shipped with the following contents
as a minimum:
1. DSA3217-PTP or DSA3218-PTP module
2. Certificate of calibration
3. Full calibration report
4. DSA-PTP resource Drive
5. Quick-zero jumper
6. Trigger/configuration cable connector
7. Power cable connector
8. Ethernet cable connector (DSA3218-PTP only)

Mounting

The DSA-PTP module comes with a 3/32" (2.4mm) mount-
ing plate attached to the bottom. This accepts mounting
hardware up to 1/4" (6.4mm) in diameter. For added flex-
ibility, the mounting plate on DSA3217-PTP modules can
be removed from the bottom of the module and mounted
on the side of the module. The DSA-PTP module can be
mounted in any orientation as any offsets caused by gravity
will be removed by a zero offset calibration (CALZ). Ensure
that the DSA-PTP module is mounted in an environment
that conforms to the requirements described in "Environ-
mental Considerations" on page 10.
CAUTION! Mounting the DSA-PTP
module inadequately or in an envi-
ronment that does not conform to
the recommendations can results in
permanent damage to the module.

Warm-up

After applying power to the DSA-PTP module, a minimum
of 30 minutes before collecting data is required to allow the
module temperature to become stable. It is recommended
that if time allows, the warm-up period should be extended
to one hour for most applications.

Communications

The DSA-PTP module is designed primarily for Ethernet
communications. This provides a means to configure the
DSA-PTP module as well as scan and collect data from the
module.
A serial RS-232 port is also provided. The serial connection
is designed to be used to configure the module, upload
operating system upgrades and provide emergency com-
munications. Several important module variables can be
configured through the serial port, but possibly the most
important is the Ethernet IP address.

Serial Communications

Every DSA3200-PTP module has an RS-232 serial output.
It is available through the 'Serial Communications/Trig-
ger' connector on the front face of the module. For both
DSA3217-PTP and DSA3218-PTP modules, the bulkhead
connector on the module is an Amphenol JTP02RE8-6P
(or PT02A-8-2P on serial numbers pre 180). All DSA-PTP
modules are shipped with a mating connector (Amphe-
nol JT06RE8-6S-SR) that can be used to fabricate a Serial
Communications/Trigger cable. Alternately, a Serial Com-
munication/Trigger cable can be ordered from Scanivalve
using the Scanivalve part number 155829.
The wiring diagram for the RS-232 output is shown below.
The cable wiring must connect the Tx output from the host
computer to the Rx input of the DSA-PTP module. Also,
the RX input of the host computer must connect to the Tx
output of the DSA-PTP module.
