3.3 CONNECTING POWER

The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for

external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-

tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-

CAUTION perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.

The Model 2173 does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon as it is plugged in.

An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connec- tion is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the Model 2173. No configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for domestic and international power supply and cord options).

DC power (supplied via the power supply jack to the 2173) must meet the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regulated +5VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +5V. The barrel type plug has a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.

4.0 CONFIGURATION

The Model 2173 has four DIP switches (S1) for configuring the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and explains the different configurations.

4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES
