Smartpack2- and Smartpack S-based DC Power Supply Systems from a personal
computer.
Installation
Computer’s Requirements
— Minimum:
PC with 1GHz CPU, 512MB RAM memory, 850MB free hard disc space, a 1024x768
display, MS Windows XP Home Edition as the operating system, MS Internet
Explorer 6.0 and Windows Installer 3.1 or later.
— Recommended:
PC with 1GHz CPU, 512MB RAM memory, 2GB free hard disc space, a 1024x768
16 bit color display and MS Windows 7 as the operating system.
— Communication with the Controller:
The PC running PowerSuite may be connected to the controller either locally via an
USB port or remotely via an Ethernet LAN (UDP tunneling protocol)
Notice:
— Do not connect the USB cable
to the PC before installing the application and drivers, if USB port connection is used
— Automatic Upgrade
The PowerSuite installation software will upgrade and overwrite your previously
installed version of PowerSuite.
— Upgrade of USB Driver 6.3
The installation software will prompt you to upgrade the Eltek USB to UART driver to
version 6.3 (required for MS Windows 7 and 64 bit operating systems).
If you are using the USB port connection and are unsure whether you have such a
driver installed, or which version, we advise you to click on the “Install” button to
install or upgrade the driver.
Installation Procedure:
You can install PowerSuite directly from the CD-ROM, from the FTP server or from the
Eltek intranet. Follow the instructions on the screen.
In short, to install PowerSuite carry out following steps:
1. Run the setup.exe file,
and the “PowerSuite Install Wizard” will guide you through the installation
— Let the wizard install the Eltek USB driver 6.1, if unsure
— Skip steps 2 and 3, if connecting to the Eltek controller via Ethernet LAN
2. Switch the Eltek controller ON and connect the USB cable
3. Wait for Windows to detect the Eltek controller (“Found New Hardware” balloon
tip)
In the “Found New Hardware Wizard”, select:
— “No, not this time” (not to connect to Windows Update),
— “Install the software automatically (Recommended)” and
— “Continue Anyway”
— After the installation, you must let Windows restart the computer
4. Start the PowerSuite program
