2.8.1.1 BCD I/O
BCD wiring between the CI-100 and SQC-310 is preferred over Binary I/O wiring
because it uses fewer SQC-310 relays. The cable wiring below interfaces the
SQC-310 I/O connector to the CI-100 BCD I/O connector:

MDC 991270 and Sycon SRT-400 Indexer compatibility: The pocket select and
interlock pins (1, 2, 3, 7) are identical to the MDC and Sycon indexers. For a
compatible pocket ready signal (pin 5), ground pin 4 (jumper pin 4 to pin 6, 8, or 9).
The pocket position outputs of the MDC/Sycon indexer (pins 4, 8, or 9) are seldom
used. Set Select Switch #7 UP.
