2.2 Setting the Jumpers
Set up and configure your product by using jumpers to match the needs of
your applications. Contact your sales representative if you have doubts about
the best configuration for your use.
2.2.1 How to Set Jumpers
Jumpers consist of a set of short pins that can be covered with a small plastic
box (jumper cap) as illustrated below. Jumpers allow the closing of an
electrical circuit, so that current can flow to certain sections of the circuit
board. If a jumper has 3 pins, you can connect either pin 1 to pin 2 or pin 2 to
pin 3 by shorting.
