1.2 .3 RANGE SWITCH SETTING

The DIP switch labeled S2 controls the range (gain) settings for both bipolar ranges
(±5V and ±10V), and for the unipolar range (0 to 10V). For location, see Figure 1-1.
Switch S2 has four ganged switches to select an input range for the analog inputs
(Figure 1-4).

Refer to Table 1-3 to determine the correct positions of switches S2-1 through S2-4
for the range you desire.

These switches control the analog input range for all eight channels.
