Please note that a remote Infinitynetwork does not require a continuously open phone line. The line is only used during dataexchange between the ECUs and the computer (setup, reports, etc.). The rest of the time theECUs function without communication with the computer. You need a modem for the computerand one for each remote network.nTo connect a remote network:1. Determine an appropriate location for the network modem. Install the modem with a buffered power strip.2. Plug the connector from the power transformer into the sideof the RS-232 / RS-485 modem converter (Berg PN8002619).3. Plug the power transformer into the same power strip usedby the network modem.4.

2-34 Infinity Installation/Service and User ManualSet Laser Driver Board JumpersFor each Laser dispenser connected to an Infinity ECU, a Laser driver board resides in the ECU.You may need to remove this board to verify or make jumper settings. A jumper (or bridge clip)connects a middle pin to one of the other two pins at a jumper location. Jumpers are preset at thefactory on new systems and seldom need to be changed. Verify the correct jumper settings onany Laser driver boards before actual installation.nTo verify or set Laser driver board jumpers:1. Disconnect the ECU from any power source. 2. Remove the ECU chassis cover by loosening 4 machinescrews. Slide the chassis out from under the cover.3. Locate the Laser driver board(s) within the ECU chassis. Ifyou have only one board, it should be in the top or "A" slot.A second driver board fits in the "B" slot.4. Remove the hex screws connecting the board to the side ofthe ECU chassis. Carefully remove the driver board fromthe ECU chassis. Remove the screws attaching the ribboncable. Handle the board gently, by its edges, and take carenot to bump or rub it against ay other object or surface thatmight disengage board subcomponents or scratch thesurface connector tracings.5. Locate the six jumpers on the driver board. Orient the boardso the components are facing you and turned to match theillustration.6. Jumpers JP1 (yellow, middle), JP2 (red, left) and JP3 (red,right) control the front panel LEDs indicating portion sizeor price level.If price levels will be used, set JP1, JP2 and JP3 to the upposition by connecting pins 2 and 3.

Jumper JP4 controls the Infinity lockout feature whichprevents simultaneous pouring of the same brand from morethan one dispenser. Simultaneous pouring can cause minorinaccuracies in portion size.To enable the lockout feature and prevent simultaneouspouring, set JP4 to the left position by connecting pins 1 and2.To disable the lockout feature and allow simultaneouspouring, set JP4 to the right position by connecting pins 2and 38. Jumper JP5 should always be set to the down position byconnecting pins 1 and 2 to assure proper performance.9. Jumper JP6 determines the address for the Laser dispenserattached to the driver board. The address is a number (1 or2) that the ECU uses to distinguish two Laser dispensers.To specify address 1 for the driver board from the "A" slot:set JP6 to the up position by connecting pins 2 and 3. Usethis setting if you have only one Laser dispenser.To specify address 2 for the driver board from the "B" slot:set JP6 to the down position by connecting pins 1 and 2.10. Return the board to the correct slot in the ECU and re-attachthe ribbon cable to the driver board. Make sure the edgeconnector is firmly seated in the slot. Replace the hexscrews on the side of the ECU chassis.11. Replace the ECU chassis cover with the 4 machine screws.
