    Installation Instructions

    The settings below must only be used for the NS65B shutter, or damage will result.

    Note the setting for Switch 1 does not depend on the shutter type, but should be set to ‘UP’ for ‘LOCAL’ (this disables the USB port and enables the BNC Pulse Input):

    Note also that there is also a toggle switch on the front that sets the ‘Normally Open’ or ‘Normally Closed’ polarity of the switch (second from left in image above). The manual is not clear on how this affects a bi-stable shutter. For consistency within KPF, all shutter controllers should be set to ‘N.O.’. Each KPF VED has a label on the front to indicate this, as show in the picture above.
