4.2 Mounting the Communications Module
Hold the communications module in place over the five standoffs on the main PCB and insert the 24-pin connector
on the ribbon cable into the 24-pin connector (P8) on the main PCB. If you are installing the RS-232/485 version,
insert the 6-pin power-cable connector into P9 on the main PCB. See Figure 4-2 below. Mount the communications
module on the threaded standoffs on the main PCB using the five screws provided.

4.3 Setting the Communications Module Jumpers
Prior to installing the communication module into the MJ-X Control Panel, ensure that the jumpers are properly
installed on the printed circuit board. Jumper selections for the Fiber Optic version and RS232/485 version are
described in separate sections below.
4.3.1 Fiber Optic Version
The jumper locations on the fiber optic version are shown in Figure 4-3. The view of the module is from the
component side. The fiber optic receiver (RX) and transmitter (TX) are shown for reference. The jumper settings
are listed in Table 4-1.
Set Auto Repeat to no repeat when only one unit is installed in the network.
