Power - Turns green when the power switch is turned on. On/Off Switch - Turns the unit on and off. If there is ever a communications error while running FlashCut CNC, turn the switch off and on to reset the internal microprocessor. - Page 8 When a switch is open, its input signal is high (+5V). When the switch is closed, its input signal is grounded low (0V). The 401A is wired for normally closed (NC) switches. Each line that is not connected to a switch must be wired directly to its ground. When any of the input lines are open the red limit light will illuminate and a signal will be sent to the host PC to indicate which input line(s) went high.
