a) Verify Voltage Setting
Based on your order, your ChartScan system was set at the voltage indicated on the sticker (located on
the rear of the unit, near the power switch). Verify that the voltage value indicated on the sticker

any reason, refer to Chapter 3, Power Aspects, Changing the Voltage Setting.
b) Verify DIP Switch Setting
The DIP switch is located on the lower right corner of ChartScan’s rear panel. Default settings are
indicated in the following figures and table. Refer to Chapter 3 if you desire to change the RS-232
parameters from their default values, or if you wish to use the IEEE 488 interface option. For ethernet
use of ChartScan, make sure the unit is configured for RS-232 serial communications, then refer to the
Net232 User’s Guide (p/n 1037-0901).
