LINK CABLE HEADER: Link two or more FADEs with a 16 pin 
ribbon cable to send it’s output to the next FADE module.

You have to connect the LINK cable of the first unit to the 
power header of the second unit, and so forth.

JUMPERS:
JP3 selects the voltage range, the bottom position is 10V 
the top is 5V.

JP3 & JP4 selects the module’s orientation. The jumpers 
are pointing to the bottom of the module, so if you want 
to flip it, just put them both in the other position.
Both jumpers should be on either top or bottom position 
at the same time.
