BME connection and selection

NThe length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).

•If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16 inch, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them.

•If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16 inch, wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

The volume level for each output can be individually set via the front panel or via Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 control. See chapter 3, "Operation", chapter 4, "Programmer's Guide", chapter 5, "Matrix Software", and chapter 6, "HTML Operation" for details.

NBME 0 should house the front panel controller and be the BME used for system control and monitoring via the serial ports and Ethernet LAN link.
