To install the cable between laptop and SIPOS 5 actuator,
open the cover of the local control unit of the actuator which
is fastened with screws.
Connect the 9-pin plug of the null modem cable to the 9-pin
interface plug (SUB-D socket) inside the actuator. This plug
is located on the control PCB, see Fig. 1 and 2.
Only use the null modem cable that is supplied with the
software. Any damage on the actuator electronics caused
by using wrong cables will void warranty!
