Switches S3-1 & S3-2: Input Impedance

The setting for Switches S3-1 and S3-2 determines the 1080A Series’ input impedance. This allows you to choose the optimum impedance setting for your application. In long distance applications the impedance of the cable must match the impedance of the load (or resistor) of the Model 1080A Series unit. Thicker gauge cables requires a lower Ohm setting, while a thinner gauge cable should receive a higher Ohm setting. If you are using higher speeds you will need a lower Ohm setting, and a higher Ohm setting for the slower speeds. Refer to the table on the following page for assistance in selecting a setting.
