5.1.3 Channel Selection via DIP Switches
The backplane-mounted DIP switch settings override the default channel programmed by PGM800Win.
To set a default channel via the software, all DIP switches must be set to “OFF” (i.e. 00000000).
When a switch is “Off”, its binary count is active; when a switch is “ON” its binary count is inactive. The
various DIP switch combinations of ON or OFF make up a binary total, which identifies the channel
number.
To select a channel, set the appropriate DIP switch or switches to “OFF” to make the binary count total
the channel number you want. Set all other switches to “ON”.
Example: To select channel 1, set the DIP switches as shown below:
