Configuration DIP Switches 

Four small DIP switches on the side of the unit are used to configure various 
hardware related settings.  

NOTE: For units that are being installed in equipment racks, it’s a good idea 
to configure the DIP switches before installing the rack mount kit.

Ground Lift (DIP 1) 

The Ground Lift feature can sometimes help in situations where audio hum 
or other noise is being caused by potential ground loops.  A Ground Lift 
disconnects the internal ground from the TourTraXX’s metal chassis, 
reducing the chance of ground noise affecting the TourTraXX’s electrical 
systems (i.e. audio outputs/inputs, etc.).  This feature is configured using 
switch #1 on the bank of DIP switches.  By default, this switch is set to the 
OFF position which grounds the TourTraXX to its chassis.  You can 
implement a ground lift by setting this switch to the ON position.  After that, 
the TourTraXX’s ground will be isolated from the chassis. 

Input Mode (DIP 2) 

This switch configures the discrete control inputs for either dry contact 
closure operation or voltage input operation.  For voltage input operation, the 
input voltage should be at least 12VDC and not more than 24VDC.  See the 

Discrete Input Control 

section of this manual for more details. 

Firmware Recovery Mode (DIP 3) 

This switch boots the TourTraXX in a recovery mode in which you can 
update the firmware in the case the unit is unbootable.  Use this mode to 
update to a working firmware version if a regular firmware update fails (due 
to power failure during update, corrupt firmware file, etc.)
