Adding an Analog Chassis to Your Console
To accommodate higher channel counts, it may be necessary to add one or more
Model 497.01 Analog Chassis’ to your FlexTest IIm console.
Depending on the number of analog chassis installed, you may have to modify
switch settings and jumpers on the communication boards in your 497.05
Hydraulic Control Panel and in the 497.01 Analog Chassis.
The analog chassis and the hydraulic control panel use identical communication
boards. For jumper and switch locations, see
“Jumper and switch locations” on
page 70. Configure the jumpers and switches for each chassis according to the
following table.
Communication Modules Switch and Jumper Settings
C HASSIS X1 S WITCH (S3) J UMPERS X1, X2, X3 J UMPER X5 *
* Jumper X5 is used for the RS-232 communications link (between the first chassis and the test
processor) and the RS-422 communications link (between the 497 communications modules in each
chassis).
For a single analog chassis:

† The address switch on the hydraulic control panel should be set to the last number in the chassis
chain. For example, if you have a single 497.01 Analog Chassis, you should set the 497.05 Hydraulic
Control Panel address to 2. If you have two analog chassis, you should set it to 3, and so forth.
