Toggling the Power Flow Switch from Forward to Reverse changes the voltage-to-current phase
relationship from in-phase to 180° out-of-phase, respectively.
For tap motor direction sensing with the MJ-X, the MJ simulator must include load resistors (2.2K 10W)
from J to E and K to E. Check if your MJ simulator has these resistors. If your simulator lacks these
resistors, add them.
4. Jumper Tables
Make sure standard jumpers for both the power and main processor boards are in place for testing. See
tables below.
