About Option Cards
The JACE-700 controller has two (2) available option slots to accept a custom option
card, compatible with either of these types:
• JACE-2/6 compatible options cards: 30-pin, 2 row connector,
or
• Future release JACE-7 option cards: 40-pin, 3 row connector.
To accept either, both option slots on the controller’s base board have a 40-pin
connector. See
on page 14. Installing an option card is recommended before
mounting the unit. See
Warning
Power to the controller must be OFF when installing or removing
option cards, or damage will occur! Also, you must be very careful to
plug an option card into its connector properly (pins aligned).
Option cards typically provide additional communications features, with the
following available models (with others still in development) listed in
Table 2
JACE-700 controller option cards.
