Changing the syync termination

In a sync BME, the first eight physical inputs on each I/O card are equipped with sync termination DIP switches. Each switch provides the option of selecting either 510 ohms or 75 ohms.

Change the sync termination of the sync I/O card as follows:

1.

If changing the configuration of an installed card, open and remove the front

 

door.

2.

On the I/O cardcage door, turn the left and right knurled knobs ¼-turn

 

counterclockwise. Lower the door.

CDo not touch the electronic components or the connectors on the backplane or on the circuit cards without being electrically grounded. Handle circuit cards by their edges only. ESD can damage ICs, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.

3. Select the correct input card and the sync termination DIP switch specific for the input to change (figure 6-10). Rock the DIP to the rear for 75-ohm termination (the default setting). Rock the switch to the front for 510-ohm termination.
