Model Description
Specifications
OPERATING MODE S1-1 S1-2
BACKUP ON ON
A signal present on input A will have full control of the output, and any
signal at input B will be ignored. If the A signal is lost, the output will be
controlled by input B. The address switches will offset both inputs.
PILE-ON OFF ON
Signals present at both inputs will have control of the output. The highest
level on any individual device channel on either input will be in control of
the output level. The address switches will offset input B only.
MERGE ON OFF
Input B is appended to input A to create one continuous output consisting
of the total number of device channels on both inputs. The address
switches will offset input B only.
TEST MODES (determined by I/O mode) OFF OFF
Input Test: Receive data LEDs indicate correct data signal (on steady),
faulty or incorrect signal (flashing), or absence of any signal (off).
