Conversion from PHC10-2 to PHC10-3

PHC10-3 is designed to be a plug in functional replacement for the PHC10-2. There are some differences which the user needs to be aware of, the connectors have been rearranged on the rear panel but are of the same type and are labelled in the same way. A USB connector has been added for those requiring USB communications. Unused switches have been removed and the remaining switches are now grouped in one row. See the next table for changes.

Changes in configuration switches

The table below is a summary of the differences between PHC10-3 and PHC10-2 configuration switch settings that allows you to correctly configure your PHC10-3 when replacing a PHC10-2.
