Helpful Tips
Service technicians often find it convenient to have two
keypad/displays connected to a single unit controller. Using
a split-screen setup makes it possible to view multiple menu
items at the same time during start-up and also for diagnostic
purposes.
→ Simply hook up the first remote user interface with an
RJ45 direct connection, and then use a two-wire twisted
pair cable to connect to the second keypad/display.
