Jumper Key
J43 When jumper is placed on 2 pins during power-up, system will reset persistent memory.
Leave on 1 pin only to enable persistent memory feature.
WARNING:
•Setting DIP switches incorrectly may cause abnormal system behavior and/or damage to system components.
•Refer to Switchbank illustration on Wiring Configuration page for correct settings for this system.
•Contact Balboa if you require additional configuration pages added to this tech sheet.
