Readhead input connection blanking plug for UCC2, UCC T3 and UCC T5
So that a controller can function without a readhead being connected, a blanking plug is required. This removes any signals coming from the readhead on that axis including and any errors signals.

Blanking connector for unused readhead connections
These are the pins that need to be connected together on the blanking plug to allow the controller to function without having a readhead plugged in. The pins need to be shorted to each other as the diagram shows.
