Section 2. Installation and HardwareSet-Up
The SDM-SIO4 is designed to be mounted on an enclosure chassis plate using the two
mounting holes in the tabs on the side of the case.
Before installation, it is necessary to set up the address of the SDM-SIO4 and also the mode
of operation of each serial port. These settings are determined by jumpers inside the case. To
access these, remove the four M3 screws and lift the lid off. With the connectors facing you,
you will see two blocks of jumpers on the right hand side of the circuit board.
Turn off the 12V supply and take static prevention
precautions before removing the lid.

2.1 Setting the SDM Address

The 4 x 2-way block of jumpers close to the ‘D’ connectors selects the SDM
address of the SDM-SIO4. This address ranges from 0 to 15. The four selector
blocks are numbered on the PCB silk screen as 1, 2, 4, and 8; ‘8’ is closest to the
‘D’ connectors. This is in binary format as shown in Table 2.

NOTE: A ‘1’ means the selector block shorts both pins. ‘0’ means the selector is
only connected to one pin (for storage).
