Meaning
BUSY
Green
Lights up when a programming interface is active.
POWER Green * Plug-in power supply plugged in (device power supply from USB port and
plug-in power supply).
Flashes when an error has occurred.
Yellow Only USB cable is plugged in (power supply from the USB port).
Flashes when a hardware fault has occurred.
*
The Power LED will not light up in green until the SIMATIC USB-Prommer has been connected to
a switched-on PC with the USB cable and the plug-in power supply is plugged in.
If neither the POWER LED nor the BUSY LED light up when the USB cable is plugged in,
the SIMATIC USB-Prommer is in power-saving mode (Hibernate mode) or the PC on which
the device is operated is switched off.
Power supply
The SIMATIC USB-Prommer is supplied by the PC via the USB cable (POWER LED lights
up in yellow). In this operating mode, i.e. without plug-in power supply, the SIMATIC USB-
Prommer can only edit SIMATIC Micro Memory Cards (MMC).
If you want to edit SIMATIC S7 Memory Cards, SIMATIC S5 EPROM modules or SIMATIC
S5 Memory Cards, you must also supply the SIMATIC USB-Prommer with power via the
plug-in power supply (POWER-LED lights up in green).
The supplied power supply is a wide-range power supply; it can be adapted to fit the
respective power outlet of a specific country, e.g. the United States, by using an adapter.
Connecting the power supply
Proceed as follows:
1. Plug in the 12 V DC power supply cable of the plug-in power supply to the 12 V DC power
supply input of the SIMATIC USB-Prommer.
2. Configure your plug-in power supply with the power outlet adapters for a specific country.
The scope of delivery includes an adapter for the United States and Europe. The power
outlet adapter is fastened by pushing it onto the plug-in power supply.
3. Connect the plug-in power supply to an outlet of your 230 V AC or 115 V AC power
supply.
NOTICE
LEDs
The device is connected properly when the green POWER LED on the SIMATIC USB-
Prommer lights up. If the contacts of the plug-in power supply get dirty, problem-free
functioning of the prommer is no longer guaranteed. If the SIMATIC USB-Prommer has not
yet been connected to the switched-on PC with the USB cable, the LEDs remain unlit.

WARNING
Plug-in power supply
When operating the SIMATIC USB-Prommer with an external power supply, you may only
use the supplied plug-in power supply.
CAUTION
Plug-in power supply
A power source with limited power is required for the operation of the SIMATIC USB-
Prommer (USA/Canada: NEC Class 2). The supplied plug-in power supply meets these
requirements.
