2.3.2 Alarm Output Connections
DS-6600 supports the open/close relay input as the alarm output mode. The alarm input can be selected to NO or
NC. Different alarm output connection methods are applied to the AC or DC load. Please refer to the following
diagram:
Alarm output connections diagram:
Figure 2.9 Alarm Output Connections
Please note the different connections of JJ1 shown above.
For DC load, JJ1can be safely used both in NC and NO methods, and it is recommended to use within the limit of
12V/1A. For external AC input, JJ1 must be open. The motherboard provides two jumpers, each corresponding to
one alarm output. And both of two jumpers are factory set to be connected.

Chapter 3 Network Parameters
Configuration
Purpose:
If you don’t know the IP address of the encoder and this is not the first time you use the encoder, you can use
SADP (IP finder) software or the Serial port tools to find out the IP address of the encoder and to configure the IP
address or other network parameters of it. It is recommended to change the default IP address for the first time to
use it.
This chapter aims to tell the procedures of using the SADP software and the Hyper Terminal Software to find and
configure the IP address and other parameters of the device.
Note:
For the first-time user, the default user name of DS-6600 is admin, and password is 12345. And the default IP
address is 192.0.0.64.
3.1 Hyper Terminal Setup
The common method is to connect encoder and PC with serial line, run Hyper Terminal and modify parameters
with serial command. Please connect the RS-232 port of encoder with the COM port of PC directly, power on the
encoder and PC and follow the steps:
Step1: Enter Hyper Terminal.
