the RS-232C connector. It can also be controlled through
a special controller connected to the RS-485 connector.
You must specify which connector (RS-232C or RS-485)
is used. (Refer to “Data Transfer Speed Setup.”)

DIP Switches Setup

The DIP switches need to be set when a computer,
special controller, etc. connected to the RS-232C or
