Hardware Introduction
Reset Button—Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to
load factory defaults. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened
paper clip or toothpick, to press the reset button. This will cause
the Ready LED to blink on and off. The factory defaults will be
loaded once the Ready LED stops blinking (after about 5 seconds).
At this point, you should release the reset button.

Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485
(150 K? or 1 K?)
Jumpers are used to set the pull
high/low resistors. The default is
150 kΩ. Short the jumpers to set
this value to 1 kΩ. Do not use the
kΩ setting with RS-232 mode,
since doing so will degrade the
RS-232 signals and shorten the
communication distance.
