*** CAUTION *** There is a potential for serial port damage when communicating with the L-Series control.
This is caused by a difference in AC voltage between neutral and earth ground. If the PC RS-232 port ground
is referenced to AC neutral, and the L-Series control is referenced to battery ground (AC earth ground), a
ground loop can be formed with currents sufficient to damage electronics in the path, such as the PC port
and the communications adaptor. To avoid this situation, Woodward strongly recommends placing an
isolation transformer between the AC outlet and the PC.
