6.  Modbus Interface Board Configuration 
The Modbus interface board uses an 8-position DIP switch (labeled SW1) to configure 
the network communication characteristics.  The switch settings are only read during 
initialization, so if a change is made to any of the switches on SW1, the inverter must 
be reset in order to enable the new settings.  The various configuration settings of 
SW1 are as follows: 
 
Communication Method: 
 
Baud Rate: 
 
Parity: 
 
Protocol: 
 
SW1 #7 is not used and its setting is therefore irrelevant.  
 
Additionally, a jumper on the interface board (labeled JP1) sets whether or not the 
Modbus network is terminated at the interface board (termination is 121Ω resistor).  
Only the 2 devices at the extreme ends of the Modbus network should have JP1 set to 
"TERM".  All other devices should have JP1 set to "OPEN".
