E185 
B2  Jump pin 1 to pin 2 to allow A+14V to come 
from P1 (ties amplifier and PMAC VME 
power supply together. Defeats OPTO 
coupling.) 
Note that if E185 is changed, E188 and E187 
must also be changed. 
Also see E190. 
No jumper installed 
E187 
A1  Jump pin 1 to pin 2 to allow analog GND to 
come from P1 (ties amplifier and PMAC 
VME GND together. Defeats OPTO 
coupling.) 
Note that if E187 is changed, E185 and E188 
must also be changed. 
Also, see E190. 
No jumper 
E188 
A2  Jump pin 1 to pin 2 to allow A-14V to come 
from P1 (ties amplifier and PMAC VME 
power supply together. Defeats OPTO 
coupling.) 
Note that if E188 is changed; E187 and E185 
must also be changed. 
Also, see E190.

A2  Jump pin 1 to 2 to allow A+15V/+V on P2A 
(JMACH2) pin 59, to tie to A+15V on P2 
(JMACH1) pin C30. 
This jumper must be installed to allow A+15V 
to power the OPTO switch sensor inputs 
(including limits) from the same OPTO-power 
supply that powers the amplifier output stage.

D1  Jump pin 1 to 2 to allow A+15V/OPT+V on 
P2A (JMACH2) pin C30, (also see E189) to 
power OPTO switch sensor inputs (including 
limits). 
Jump pin 2 to 3 to allow +12V from VME bus 
connector to power OPTO switch sensor inputs 
(including limits). Optical isolation is then lost.
