Setting the Jumpers
The IM module contains three circuit boards with jumpers you can set to
control how the system operates. The following sections describe setting
the jumpers on each of these boards.
For two-pin jumpers, the jumper is either on (it connects the two pins) or
off (it doesn’t connect the two pins).
For three-pin jumpers, th e jumper setting is 1-2 when the jumper connec ts
pins 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pins 2 and 3 are connected. You see
a 1 and a 3 printed on the circuit board to identify these pins.
To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers or
tweezers to pull it off the pins and move it to the desired position.
Caution
Be careful not to bend the jumper pins or damage any components on the
board.
