CAN-Bus is controlled via the touchscreen of any Delta series component. There is no master component, so Delta series systems where two or more units have a touchscreen can be controlled through any of the touchscreens. However, it is probably easiest to start using CAN-Bus through just one.

CAN-Bus is accessed by pressing the menu button on the face of the unit or remote, then the status button, followed by the more button.
