If you examine the rear of the module, you will notice several jumpers. These
jumpers are used to select the signal range for each channel. There is also a current
jumper. Some of the ranges can be selected with the current jumper installed or
removed. To prevent losing jumpers when they are removed, a good place to store
them is to reinstall each removed jumper over a single pin.
The signal range choices include five commonly encountered signal ranges: $5
VDC, $10 VDC, 4 – 20 mA, 0 – 5 VDC, and 0 – 10 VDC. The jumper settings for
these signal ranges are shown in the table below.
In addition, the module supports some additional ranges that are not encountered
very often. Use the last table in this section for those jumper settings.
The module is set at the factory for a 4–20 mA signal on all four channels. If this is
acceptable you do not have to change any of the jumpers. The following diagram
shows how the jumpers are set from the factory.
Current Jumper Signal Range Selection For Each Channel
Channel 3
If you are using any 4–20 mA signals, you must have the current jumper installed.
You can still select some of the other voltage ranges (except for the $10 VDC
range, which requires that the current jumper be removed). The following table
shows the jumper selections for the commonly used ranges.
