Setting internal jumpers

The jumpers inside the interfaces are set at the factory for optimal use by most systems. However, you can change a jumper setting to meet the needs of a particular system.

Changes to internal jumper settings must be performed by authorized service personnel only.

The user-configurable, internal jumpers control the following functions:

Horizontal and vertical sync polarity

Vertical sync pulse width

Follow these steps to change the jumper settings. The RGB 164xi is shown for illustration, but the steps apply to both interfaces.

1.

Remove power from the interface by disconnecting the AC

 

power cord from the unit.

2.

Open the cover of the interface (the top half of the

 

enclosure) as follows:

 

a.

Remove the screws from the top cover of the

 

 

enclosure (figure 2-14).

 

b.

Remove the three screws that are in the Output 1

 

 

BNC group.

 

c.

Lift the cover straight up.

CAUTION

Do not touch any switches or electronic components

 

inside the interface. Doing so could damage the

 

interface.

 

Slide cover back slightly,

 

lift straight up.

Remove (5) screws.

Note the positions of jumpers J20 and J40 before changing

 

jumper settings. Figure 2-15 shows the locations of the J20

 

and J40 jumpers and the two possible setting combinations

 

for 3-pin jumpers.

Configure the jumpers as defined on the next page. To

 

configure the jumpers, use pliers to pull the jumper shunt

 

off the pins, then place the jumper on the appropriate pins

 

(figure 2-16).
