TRANSCEIVER CONFIGURATION JUMPERS

The 4310 Transceiver has three jumper blocks that configure the transceiver. The following
sections describe the use and function of these jumpers.
J11—TTL/RS-232 and LED Enable Jumpers
Jumper J11 configures two functions; the front panel LEDs and interface signal levels. See
Figure 2-5 and Table 2-4 for jumper details.
With J11 Pins 1–2 jumpered, the
and are commonly referred to as TTL. With no shunt across J11 Pins 1–2, U31 is enabled
providing standard + and -12 Vdc signals on the RS-232 compatible signals available at the
connector. A shunt across J11 Pins 1–2 disables U31 which is the RS-232 line

driver/receiver IC. With U31 disabled, the signal lines are not converted to RS-232 12Vdc
levels.
The function of J11 pins 3–4 allows the disabling of the LED indicators on the transceiver
front panel. Disabling the LEDs allows less current consumption in solar-powered
installations and other current sensitive installations. With J11 pins 3–4 jumpered the LED
driver IC is enabled and the LEDs function. Conversely, when the jumper is removed from
J11 pins 3–4 the LED driver IC is disabled and the LEDs do not function.
To prevent possible damage to the interface circuitry,
disconnect primary power and the
before changing jumpers. J11 Pins 1-2 must be shunted if
any of the input/output lines are to be operated at TTL levels.
Failure to do so can damage the transceiver or RTU or may
cause intermittent operation.
