connector for all faceplates.
-There are two revisions of faceplates. We added
a shrouded header to the faceplates and cards to
eliminate confusion. (See gures 4a-4d next page)

OPTIONAL BP250 FAN CALIBRATION
You may adjust the thermostat for the fans of the BP250 if noise is an issue. To
adjust the thermostat, remove BP250 lid. Locate calibration pot and adjust as in
Figure 8.b, if desired. The BP250 is factory set to 1.2 VDC @ room temperature
across the black and red fan wires. Higher fan speeds will ensure longer lasting
electronics.
