1.1 Warnings and Cautions
The card is an electrical component and must be treated with the following precautions:
Warning
Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction/
operation of this equipment and the hazards involved should install,
adjust, operate, and/or service this equipment. Read and understand this
guide in its entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in severe bodily injury or, in extreme cases, loss of life.
Warning
You must provide an external, hand-wired emergency stop circuit
outside the programmable controller circuitry. This circuit must disable
the system in case of improper operation. Uncontrolled machine motion
may result if this procedure is not followed. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bodily injury.
Caution
The card contains static-sensitive components. Careless handling may
severely damage the card. Do not touch any of the connectors or pins on
the card. When not in use, the card should be stored in an anti-static bag.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to or
destruction of the equipment.

1.3.1 DIP Switch
The 6-position DIP switch is used to set the base I/O address for configuring the card.
Figure 2: DIP Switch
Note
Keep in mind that the card uses 8 I/O addresses. Selecting I/O address
250 actually uses I/O addresses 250 through 257.
Table 2: DIP Switch Settings
A “1” in the following table indicates that a switch is on (or UP), and a “0” indicates that a
switch is off (or DOWN). The arrow on the switch (refer to Figure 2: DIP Switch) indicates the
direction in which a switch that’s off points.

2.1 System Requirements
To install and operate the card, the following system requirements must be met:
• Minimum 8K window in host memory map (maximum is 256K and default is 16K)
• An available ISA slot
• If interrupts are required, you will need a physical interrupt
2.2 Handling Precautions
The card contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Do not touch
the card without following these precautions:
Caution
• Always follow correct ESD procedures before handling the card.
We strongly recommend the use of a grounding wrist strap.
• Never touch any of the card’s connectors or pins. Handle the card by
its edges or bracket.
• When the card is not in your computer, always store it in its protective
ESD bag.
