NOTE

This switch is normally kept at the [M] (master) position. When an additional AW-RP400 control panel has been installed, set the EXT CONT switch on the additional unit to [S] (slave).

If no additional AW-RP400 control panel is going to be installed, the EXT CONT switch on this control panel must be kept at the [M] (master) position without fail.
