3. Reconnect power to the DGP. LED L1 will blink rapidly.

4. Use the USB cable to connect the computer to the DGP’s USB port (Figure 2 on page 7, item 1). The first time you connect a DGP to the computer’s USB port, the Found New Hardware Wizard may display. If the Found New Hardware Wizard does not display, go directly to step 9.

5. If the wizard asks “Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?”, click to select the “No, not this time” radio button, and then click Next.

6.   If the wizard asks “What do you want the wizard to do?”, click to select the “Install from a list or specific location” radio button, and then click Next.

7.   Click to select the “Search for the best driver in these locations” radio button, and then browse to include the location of the Tecom Firmware Loader application in the search (for example, C:\Program Files\Tecom Firmware Loader\inf_driver). 14 TS1020 Analogue Data Gathering Panel Installation Manual
