CHAPTER 3: Installation and Configuration

(text continued from page 9)

3. If you will be performing remote switching using a cable that is unterminated

at the Switch end, attach the cable’s wires to the appropriate positions of the

4-position terminal block labeled “TB1” (refer to Figures 3-1 through 3-3 on

pages 10 through 12 and to Tables 4-1 and 4-2 on pages 20 and 21). Connect

the ground of the remote driver, or one side of the dry contact, to (either of)

the terminal block’s ground pin(s). Connect the remote driver’s output(s),

or the other side of the dry contact, to the terminal block’s input pin(s).

4. Close the Switch’s housing and screw the two screws you removed in step 1

back in. If you are using a remote-switching cable that is unterminated at the

Switch end, make sure that the cable is seated in the slot on the left side of

the Switch’s rear panel before you put the cover back on.

(The installation procedure for locally switched applications begins with Step 5:)

5. Find DIP switch S2 (for SW980 and SW982 units) or DIP switches S2 and S3

(for SW981 units) on the Switch’s rear panel. Refer to Figure 3-4 below or

Figure 3-5 or 3-6 on the next page, which show the rear panels of the SW980,

SW981, and SW982 models respectively.
