Setting the gain

Note: The lid-to-body seal uses 'O'-rings. Take care that the
lid does not suddenly fly off when this seal is broken.

Lift the lid and the attached electronics vertically out of the cylindrical
body and disconnect the ribbon cable at either end, noting the

orientation of the cable.

Looking down into the body of the instrument, you will see a small printed

circuit board mounted on an aluminium disc. This board contains the
gain-setting jumpers, which are coloured red to aid identification.

Each component (vertical, North/South and East/West) has two associated

jumpers (one for each leg of the differential connection) and these must
always be moved in pairs. It is possible to select different gains for different

channels but this is rarely desirable. Consult the markings on the printed
circuit board and the pictures below to select the desired gain.
