3.5 Setting Jumpers
You may
configure
your
panel PC to match the needs of
your
application
by setting jumpers. A jumper
is
a metal
bridge
used
to close an
electric cir- cuit. It consists
of two
metal pins
and
a small metal clip (often
protected by a plastic cover)
that slides over
the pins
to connect
them.
To “close” a jumper,
you connect
the
pins with the clip.
To “open”
a jumper,
you
remove the clip. Sometimes
a jumper
will
have
three pins,
labeled 1,
2 and 3.
In this case
you would connect either pins
1 and 2, or 2 and
3.
open closed closed 2-3
The jumper settings
are
schematically depicted in this
manual
as follows:.
open closed closed 2-3
A
pair of
needle-nose pliers
may be helpful
when working
with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best
hardware
configuration
for
your application, contact your
local
distributor or
sales representative before you make
any
changes.
Generally, you simply
need
a standard cable
to make most
connections.
