4 MOTHERBOARD JUMPER SETTINGS
4.1 MOTOR POWER SELECTION JUMPERS
Each motor driver on the octopus pro can have the voltage used by it configured via a
jumper.
Note: Before powering your octopus pro, always double check the driver
voltage jumpers to ensure that the correct voltage is being routed to each
driver. Sending a high voltage to a driver that is not rated for it is likely to
destroy it and may even cause damage to the motherboard.
Setting the jumper for any given driver to the right, as shown in the image below, will
provide the motherboard input voltage for that driver to use. Generally the motherboard
uses 24V.
Setting the jumper for any given driver to the left, as shown in the image below, will provide
the motor input voltage for that driver to use. This can be up to 60V.
Note: Never remove or insert a jumper when power is applied to either the
board input or the motor input.
4.2 FAN AND PROXIMITY SWITCH VOLTAGE SETTINGS
The Octopus features 6 PWM fan outputs and two “always on” fan outputs. There is also a
dedicated pin header for a proximity sensor or probe.
