    JP2 is installed in the 1-2 position giving normally-closed operation. This mode should be used with caution since the Soloist HPe 10/20/30 cannot maintain the closed state when its AC mains power is turned off. The PSO-NC (JP2 1-2 setting) should not be used when fail-safe operation is required. JP2 jumper settings are...
