When configuring and initially operating the DCS 400 system, please proceed as follows:

1. Cabling

Use the supplied flat-wire cable for connecting the relay modules DCS 408, DCS 409 in the desired order to the control module DCS 401. Mixed installation of relay modules is possible; numbering the relays is type-specific and has to be performed according to their sequence.

example:

 

Sequence
