Set up and configure the SE-103-N by using jumpers for various settings and
features according to the application requirements. Contact your supplier if
you have doubts about the best configuration.
2.2.1 How to Set Jumpers
Jumpers are short-length conductors consisting of several metal pins with a
non-conductive base mounted on the circuit board. Jumper caps are used to
have the functions and features enabled or disabled. If a jumper has 3 pins,
you can connect either PIN1 to PIN2 or PIN2 to PIN3 by shorting.
