Option 02
This option adds six BNC connectors and a 50-pin con
nector to the rear panel to allow external access to the inter
face for external I/O control. These connectors are not
prewired. Instead, prepared jumpers, strip pins, coaxial ca
bles, and interconnection jack barriers are included in a kit.
This gives the system designer as much flexibility as possi
ble. Refer qualified service personnel to the Maintenance
section of this manual for Option 02 installation information.
