power supply.
4.1 IT-E131 Communication cable
The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of power supply is TTL voltage level; you can use
the communication cable (IT-E131) to connect the DB9 interface connector of the power supply
and the RS-232 interface connector of computer for the communication.

fail, you can change the baud rate and communication address from the front panel or from computer.
1. Address: the range is from 0 to 254, default setting is 0
2. Baud rate: 4800,9600,19200 and 38400 are selectable, default setting is 9600
3. Data bit: 8 bit
4. Stop bit: 1
5. Parity: None

Note: It will not work if you connect the DB9 interface connector of the power
supply to the RS232 interface connector of computer directly by a standard
RS232 cable. Please use IT-E131 to connect them.
