Page 12: Jumper Settings
Jumper settings The tables below give you information about the interface conditions that can be selected using jumpers. In all cases, ON denotes the connection of the jumper (covering both terminals), while OFF denotes the disconnection of the jumper. - Page 13 If the host computer is not equipped with a power supply for the Current loop interface, these jumpers must be connected to perform communica- tion via the Current loop interface Either J8 or j9 jumper is connected at the factory, and you should not change this setting Either JCX or JCF jumper must be connected.
