Dip switch settings.

Set the rotary address switches on the receiver board as follows:
S3, S2, S1: The setting of S3, S2, S1 corresponds to the value of Identity (see below).

Select the control system protocol with the S4 DIP-switch on the receiver board as follows:
(Note: The UltraDome KD6i has additional switches in the S4 DIP-switch, see below)
S4-1, S4-2, S4-3, S4-4 Select Diamond protocol:
Set all switches to Open (Off).

Select 2-wire operation:
W3, W4: Ensure that the jumpers on the Top Plate are set to 2-wire operation (set jumpers W3 and W4 to position 1 and 2 respectively).

The last unit on a RS-485 bus should be terminated.
Select termination with the jumpers W1 and W2 on the Top Plate (see below).
W1, W2  Terminated RS-485, connect pin 1-2.
Unterminated RS-485, connect pin 2-3.

UltrDome KD6i has additional switches and jumpers on the receiver board.
The UltrDome KD6i has an 8 section (4 additional switches) DIP-switch S4 on the receiver board. See below for the settings of these extra switches (S4:5-8)
S4-5, S4-6, S4-7, S4-8 OFF, ON, ON, OFF = 9600 baud, even parity (default settings).

OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF = 2400 baud, no parity
OFF, OFF, ON, OFF = 2400 baud, even parity
ON, OFF, OFF, OFF = 4800 baud, no parity
ON, OFF, ON, OFF = 4800 baud, even parity
OFF, ON, OFF, OFF = 9600 baud, no parity
ON, ON, OFF, OFF = 19200 baud, no parity
ON, ON, ON, OFF = 19200 baud, even parity
 


The UltrDome KD6i has 4 additional jumpers on the receiver board. These jumpers can be used for tuning the RS-485 serial communication lines, see below.
W1, W2 CLOSED, CLOSED = No serial resistors on the RS-485 lines (default setting).

OPEN, OPEN = No strong pullup/pulldown resistors on the RS-485 lines (default setting).
