Multi-out to Multi-in 1. Check for 24 volts power to the board 1. If no voltage, see “LED is not lit” above
Communication Wiring for low voltage, see “88888 LED display”
(only shows after initial 2. Check for crossed communication wiring Go to 2. Correct wiring from “Master” unit Multi-out
successful connection) (multi-out not wired to multi-in terminals) next step to Multi-in of “Slave” unit, etc. to all Slaves
and return to Master. (See wiring diagrams)
3. Check for broken communication wiring 3. Correct wiring between first Slave with
error to previous board in the sequence.
