Two jumpers are provided on the main module to allow for certain user defined 
operations:

J9  is  utilized  to  determine  whether  the  ARTS-201B  unit  is  powered  up  in  the 
automatic or manual mode. After power up, the pushbutton inside the front cover 
can always be used to override the power up selection. 
 
When the unit is in the automatic mode, if the signal fails on the A input the unit 
switches  to  the  B  input.  A  jumper  (J10

J10)  is  provided  on  the  module  to  allow  the 

user to define whether the unit automatically returns to the A input upon return of 
A signal or whether it remains on the B input until it is manually returned to the A 
input.  The  return-to-A-signal  mode  can  be  delayed  by  an  adjustment  (R177

R177)  to 

allow from 1 to 5 seconds after return of A signal before the unit switches back to 
the A input. This is included to allow the A signal to stabilize before returning to 
the  A  signal  position.  The  manual  changeover  pushbutton  switch located in the 
front  cover,  as  well  as  the  remote  changeover  pins  in  the  External  Control 
connector continue to provide for manual operation of the unit.
