Prev Next

Instructions

Attention!

A USB expansion card for your Impulse gateway is required to complete this setup.

To connect the DEIF BGC-2 to the Impulse gateway, you need the following components:

  • DEIF programming interface Basic Genset Controller: RJ11 to RS232

  • StarTech ICUSB2322F: 1x USB to 2x RS232

  • StarTech SCNM9FF1MBK: RS232 female to RS232 female (zero-modem cable)

Hint!

If you want to connect two BGC-2s to one gateway, you will need two zero-modem cables.

Connect the DEIF BGC-2 to the programming interface via the RJ11 bus.
Connect the null modem cable to the programming interface.
Connect the null modem cable to the RS232 ←→ USB cable.
Connect the RS232 ←→ USB cable to the USB port of the Impulse gateway.

Optional: repeat the above steps with the second RS232 port to connect an additional DEIF BGC-2 to your gateway.
