Programmability
- When ordering, it�s not always possible to predict the exact monitor options needed for specific applications. Traditionally, altering monitor system options post-installation posed significant challenges. The 3300 System addresses this issue by offering flexibility through plug-in jumpers and, for selected monitors, firmware programmability, enabling easy and reliable field adjustments.
- The plug-in jumpers allow quick reconfiguration by simply repositioning them on the monitor�s circuit boards, following the legend displayed on the monitor's protective side cover. The microprocessor within the monitor continuously scans the jumper positions and adjusts the settings automatically to match the selected options, ensuring precision and reliability.
- For monitors equipped with firmware-programmable options, changes can be made effortlessly through front panel controls, eliminating the need for specialized tools or programming modules. To prevent unauthorized adjustments, the programming controls are located behind the front panel, ensuring that only qualified personnel can access these settings. This programmability makes the 3300 System adaptable and easy to reconfigure, enhancing its versatility across various applications.
