• Be sure to connect pin number 5 (GND) of COM1, COM2 (RS-232C) to the host
unit’s Signal Ground terminal.
• Be sure to confirm what settings will be used by the other device and set the slide
switches accordingly. Failure to do so can result in a unit malfunction or damage.
• Whenever changing the PS-B switches, be sure to first turn the PS-B’s power
supply OFF. Failure to do so can cause a PS-B malfunction.
• Connect the FG terminal line to the shell.
• FG and SG terminals are internally connected in the PS-B. When connecting to
another device, be sure not to create an SG shorting loop in your system.
