Instructions To make a terminator (for use when connecting EF2280s), use an RJ45 connector.
Connect pin 3 to pin 6 with an 110 Ohm resistor. A terminator is not required for the
EF2211/EF2210 as it is built in.

Caution! Do NOT connect the shield at both ends.
Caution! On the EF2211/EF2210, the terminal block pin 3
is connected to chassis ground. Under no cir-
cumstances should pin 3 be connected to pin 1
or to pin 2. Doing so will add noise to the audio
signal.
