(7) 207-6845 Adapter Cable AsRefer to Illustration 1. The location of the service tool connector depends on the configuration of the control system.The engine's power supply supplies the communication adapter with 24 VDC. Use the following procedure to connect Cat ET and the communication adapter to the engine.
Set the engine control to the OFF/RESET mode.
Connect communications adapter (6) to a communications port on the PC by using one of the following methods:
Connect cable (5) between the "COMPUTER" end of communications adapter (6) and the parallel port of PC (2). Be sure to configure Cat ET for the parallel port. This configuration provides the fastest connection.
Connect cable (4) between the "COMPUTER" end of communication adapter (6) and the serial port of PC (2).
Connect cables (3) and (4) between the "COMPUTER" end of communication adapter (6) and the USB port of PC (2).
Connect cable (7) to communication adapter (6).
Connect cable (7) to the service tool connector.
Verify that the "POWER" indicator on the communication adapter is illuminated.
Set the engine control to the STOP mode. Establish communication between Cat ET and an ECM. If Cat ET and the communication adapter do not communicate with the ECM, refer to Troubleshooting, "Electronic Service Tool Does Not Communicate".Recommendations for Programming the System Configuration Parameters
For descriptions of the parameters, refer to Systems Operation, "Electronic Control System Parameters". The values of the parameters can be viewed on the "Configuration" screen of Cat ET.Programmable parameters enable the engine to be configured in order to meet the requirements of the application. The system configuration parameters must be programmed when the application is installed. Perform this programming before the initial engine start-up.Data from a gas analysis is required in order to determine the correct settings for the air/fuel ratio control. The data must be entered into Caterpillar Software, LERW4485, "Gas
