DIP SWITCH SETTINGS AND LOCATIONS

DIP switches on the PC boards allow for custom con- figuration of the Power Wave. Access the DIP switch- es as follows:

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.

Do not touch electrically live parts or electrodes with your skin or wet cloth- ing.

Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

Always wear dry insulating gloves.

Turn off power at the disconnect switch.

Remove the top four screws securing the front access panel.

Loosen, but do not completely remove, the bottom two screws holding the access panel.

Open the access panel, allowing the weight of the panel to be carried by the bottom two screws. Make sure to prevent the weight of the access panel from hanging on the harness.
