- Jumper Configuration (JP1):
Refer to the system's overall wiring diagram and the diagram on the adaptor itself (Image 1) to set the JP1 jumper correctly. The jumper settings (A, B, C) correspond to different termination requirements. Typically, only one jumper position should be selected.
- Position A: (Specific termination setting, consult system manual)
- Position B: (Specific termination setting, consult system manual)
- Position C: (Specific termination setting, consult system manual)
Note: The exact function of each jumper position (A, B, C) depends on the specific Duox Plus system configuration and cable length. Always consult the main Duox Plus system installation manual for precise guidance on jumper settings.
- Wiring Connections:
Connect the Duox Plus bus wires to the 'B B' screw terminals. Ensure polarity is maintained if specified by the system. Tighten the screws firmly to ensure good electrical contact.
- Connect the first Duox Plus bus wire to one 'B' terminal.
- Connect the second Duox Plus bus wire to the other 'B' terminal.
- Power Restoration: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the Duox Plus system.
