Jumper
Default
Description
JMP1
POT_RTD
This jumper selects which resistor string is used for the RTD emulator minimum-scale output.
Set the jumper to the POT_RTD position to use potentiometers POT1 and POT2. Set the
jumper to the R_RTD position to use surface-mount resistors R22-R24 (not installed by
default).
JMP2
POT_RTD
This jumper selects which resistor string is used for the RTD emulator mid-scale output.
Set the jumper to the POT_RTD position to use potentiometers POT3 and POT4. Set the
jumper to the R_RTD position to use surface-mount resistors R25-R27 (not installed by
default).
JMP3
POT_RTD
This jumper selects which resistor string is used for the RTD emulator maximum-scale output.
Set the jumper to the POT_RTD position to use potentiometers POT5 and POT6. Set the
jumper to the R_RTD position to use surface-mount resistors R28-R30 (not installed by
default).
