This is useful in several ways, for example, discreet resistor may be connected to the W (min) and R 

(wiper) terminals of the FAILSAFE connector to set a minimum resistance value on power failure. If the 

signal interface is controlling a damper actuator, then the resistance would set a minimum open position 

on power failure.

To failsafe to the minimum signal interface resistance value, connect a wire jumper between the W and R 

terminals of the FAILSAFE connector.

To failsafe the maximum signal interface resistance value, connect a wire jumper between the B and R 

terminals of the FAILSAFE connector.

A manual potentiometer may also be connected to the FAILSAFE connector to allow manual control. 

The PCB has a MAN / AUTO jumper that can be used to force the failsafe mode. For normal operation the 

jumper is placed in the AUTO position. To test the system, place the jumper in the MAN position and the 

OUTPUT terminals will immediately connect to the FAILSAFE terminals so an external pot can be used to 

manually control the device connected to the signal interface output.

Return the jumper to the AUTO position for normal operation.
