1.1 Introduction
For demonstrating the nVent RAYCHEM NGC-40 capabilities, the NGC-40 demo unit requires to communicate with TOUCH 1500 software
running on a TOUCH 1500 touch screen display or on your pc or laptop.
The NGC-40 demo uses the RS-232 port from the NGC-40-BRIDGE module to communicate with TOUCH 1500 software. The NGC-40
demo ships from the factory with one RJ-11 to 9pin D-Sub female cable and one USB to RS-232 serial cable. There are two methods for
interfacing the NGC-40 demo to a computer.
Method 1: Computer has RS-232 port
If your computer has a 9pin D-Sub male connector, then you can connect directly to the PC using the RJ-11 to 9pin D-Sub female cable.

Method 2: Computer does not have a RS-232 port
Most computers today do not have an RS-232 port, therefore you must use a USB port.
If using the USB to RS-232 cable supplied with the demo, you must first install the necessary drivers to your computer. Included in the
packaging of the USB cable is a disk with the drivers. Follow the directions on the disk to load the USB drivers (May need admin rights
from IT).
The figures below show the two cables.

You must follow the instructions in Section .to determine the USB COMM port numbers.

1.2 NGC-40 Demo Power Entry
The NGC-40 demo can be powered either by 120 Vac or 230 Vac. On the side of the demo is the power entry connection. The demos are
configured at the factory for either 120 Vac in or 230 Vac input prior to shipping. Always refer to yellow label next to the ON/OFF switch
for the proper voltage.

230 Vac Demo Unit
The illustration below shows the 230 Vac demo. Typically the demos that are configured for 230 Vac input will be used in countries other
than North America. Notice that the AC plug has been removed. Since this version of the demo can be used in many different countries it
is up to the personnel in that country to install the proper AC plug.

1.3 How to determine the USB COMM Port Number
During the installation of the driver software for the USB to RS-232 converter, A COMM port number will be assigned. This COMM port
number should be selected in the TOUCH 1500 software when using the USB to RS-232 convert. See 3.2Selecting and Configuring the
TOUCH 1500 COMM Port.
The following steps will help you determine which COMM port has been assign to the USB to RS-232 converter.
Step – Insert the USB end of the USB to RS-232 cable to any available port on your PC, leave the other end of the cable open.
Step – On the task bar from your PC select the START button (lower left hand corner) then select MY COMPUTER.
Step – From the System Tasks menu select View System Information as shown.

Step – The following screen will appear. Click on the Hardware tab.
Step – Click on the Device Manager tab.

Step – Select Ports (COM & LPT). You will now see the COMM port that your PC has selected for the USB cable. In this example
COM 3has been selected.
Step – You will need to enter this com port into the TOUCH 1500 software.
Step – Record the COM port number_______ for future reference.
