12 
J12 
OPT_RX, VBAT, 
OPT_TX, GND 
Five-pin header for access to the optical port (UART1). 
Terminal 2 monitors the TX_OPT output of the IC. Terminal 
4 monitors the OPT_RX input to the IC. 
No jumper should be place across VBAT and 
OPT_TX_OUT 
13 
J1 
5 Volt external 
supply 
Plug for connecting the external 5 VDC power supply. 
14, 20, 24, 
32 
TP13, TP14, 
TP15, TP16 
GND 
GND test points. 
15 
JP20 
-- 
Two-pin header for selecting the signal for the pulse LED 
(D6). With a jumper between pins 1 and 2, RPULSE is 
selected. Pins 2 and 3 select YPULSE. 
16 
D6 
VARS 
VARh pulse LED. 
17 
TP21 
-- 
Two-pin header providing access to the signals powering 
the RPULSE LED (D5). 
18 
JP19 
SEG21/DIO08 
Two-pin header for selecting the signal for the pulse LED 
(D5). With a jumper between pins 1 and 2, WPULSE is 
selected. Pins 2 and 3 select XPULSE. 
19 
TP20 
-- 
Two-pin header providing access to the signals powering 
the WPULSE LED (D6). 
21 
D5 
WATTS 
Wh pulse LED. 
22 
JP16 
BAT MODE 
Selector for the operation of the IC when main power is re-
moved. A jumper across pins 2-3 (default) indicates that no 
external battery is available. The IC will stay in brownout 
mode when the system power is down and it will communi-
cate at 9600bd. A jumper across pins 1-2 indicates that an 
external battery is available. The IC will be able to trans-
ition from brownout mode to sleep and LCD modes when 
the system power is down and it will communicate at 
300bd. 
23 
JP6 
DIO03_R 
Three-pin header providing access to DIO03. 
25 
JP7 
ICE_EN 
To enable the ICE interface a jumper is installed across 
pins 2 and 3. 
26 
U8 
-- 
LCD display – eight digits, 14 segments. 
27 
JP13, JP14, 
JP15 
DIO56, DIO57, 
DIO58 
Two-pin headers providing access to the DIO signals 
DIO56, DIO57, and DIO58. 
28 
J2 
DEBUG 
Connector for USB-Serial Adapter. 2x8 pin male header. 
29 
U5 
-- 
The IC 71M6533 soldered to the PCB. 
30 
TP8 
CKTEST, 
TMUXOUT 
Test points for access to the CKTEST and TMUXOUT pins 
on the IC. 
31 
TP17 
VREF 
Test point for access to the VREF pin on the IC. 
33 
TP10 
V1_R 
Three-pin header for control of the V1 input to the IC. 
34 
J18 
-- 
SPI interface connector. 
35, 39, 41, 
43 
J19, J20, J21, 
J22 
IAN/IAP, IBN/IBP, 
ICN/ICP, IDP 
Two-pin headers for monitoring the current channel inputs. 
36 
J14
