Initial Setup
Testing Signals Using the Loopback Kit
NOTE
The following procedure is only used for test purposes when no external source is available.
The loopback kit included in the starter kit allows users to test system signals. Connection is made easy
with a custom flat cable that matches OPAL-RT standard DB37 pin assignments.
The loopback kit allows users to test signals by connecting the output cassette to the input cassette. If
the input reads each output signal, the unit is functioning properly and is ready to be put into service.

4. When this kit is used to test digital signals, connect the Vuser (required to preserve isolation) from
the loopback board (connector end) to an external source (wire end).
