Note: A total of 127 base address settings are available. The switches are a binary representation of the decimal memory addresses. SW1/2 is the Most Significant Bit and switch SW1/8 is the Least Significant Bit. The switches have the following decimal values: SW1/8=8, SW1/7=16, SW1/6=32, SW1/5=64, SW1/4=128, SW1/3=256, SW1/2=512. Turn off the switches and add the values of the switches that are off to obtain the correct memory address. (Off=1, On=0)

MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTE

When using RS-422, resistors R2, R3, R5, and R6 must be installed to match the impedance of the cable that is used. The board will not function properly in RS-422 mode without these resistors.
