Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions

Can this board replace an older SDCS-CON-1 board? The SDCS-CON-2A is the successor to the CON-1. While it offers improved processing, it may require firmware adjustments and parameter re-configuration to be fully backward compatible.

Does the board include the firmware pre-installed? Usually, these boards are shipped as hardware only. The specific system software (Firmware) must be downloaded from the original drive or flash memory during setup.

What do the onboard LEDs indicate? The LEDs provide diagnostic status. A steady green light usually indicates the 5V power supply is healthy, while red or flickering lights indicate a fault or communication error with the pulse transformer board.

How should the board be stored? Store in the original anti-static bag in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent oxidation of the terminal pins.
