4. If the E2 is the beginning of all RS-485 I/O or MODBUS Networks,
set all three jumpers to the UP position. For MODBUS, set the jumpers
in the top-most position (MOD). ForI/O Net, set the jumpers in the
middle position(I/O). For no termination, set the jumpers tothe DOWN position (NO).
2. Set the network address on the first five rockers of the
dip switch (labeled S1) on the MultiFlex ESR board.
3. Set the network baud rate using rockers 6 and 7.
6. Connect the MultiFlex ESR to a Class 2, 80VA
24VAC power transformer. (One MultiFlex ESR board
per transformer.) For more information on transformer wiring,
refer to the MultiFlex ESR manual ( ).
