Connecting the HGC-2 to the Programming Cable :
In order for the HGC-2 to communicate with the PC User Interface, a programming cable ( 999-10166) must be temporarily
connected to the PC USB port and also to the HGC-2 controller.
The controller and programming cable use Infra-red transmission technology for fast data transfer and the user must ensure
that the programming head is correctly aligned and fitted to the controller for successful communications.
1. Install the HGC-2 Graphical user Interface onto the PC that will be used for set-up and configuration of the HGC-2
2. Ensure you have, if necessary, installed the USB drivers needed for the programming cable onto your PC that will be
used for setting-up the HGC-2 ( found on software CD or at
www.hctcontrols.com
3. Wipe clean both the surface of the HGC-2 module, directly under the connector and also the underside of the
‘Programming head’, making sure there is no debris or material that could cause an issue.
4. Hold the ‘Programming head’ such that the label is facing upwards as shown in the picture to the right.
5. Holding the ‘ Programming head’ firmly, top and bottom between thumb and forefinger, slide it UNDER the two Philips
Pan head screws ( see bubbles above ) until the profile in the ‘Programming head’ meets and matches the connector
profile. Only now is the head aligned correctly with the optical coupling.
