Set configuration jumpers and address switch

Configuration jumpers

Before operating the pump, jumpers J2 and J9 must be set as appro-
priate for your system. Refer to the tables below and Figure 4-4. 

Address switch setting

The address switch is normally used to assign the device address on the 
RS485 bus (see Figure 4-4). There are 15 possible addresses (0-E hex). 
The actual device address equals the address switch setting plus one. If 
the address switch is set to 1, then, the device address is 2. 

Position F is used for the self test. Use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to 
rotate the switch. See cabling diagrams for examples.

Note:  

The address switch function changes if AutoRun jumper J2-2 is 

installed (see Table 4-2, above). For initial setup and confirmation, make sure 
the AutoRun jumper is not installed.

At power-up, if the AutoRun jumper is installed, the pump will execute the string at the memory location pointed 
to by the address switch setting.

2.

All other valve types are EEPROM configurable. This is described in Table 5-6 (page 46).
