    Function of the Double DIP Switch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The terminating resistors for CAN bus 1 and CAN bus 2 are switched on and off with the double DIP switch (see number 2 in \u00bbConnectors and switches\u00ab<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Multiple Panels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    With the \u00bbiControl4 Control Panel\u00ab it is possible to operate up to four panels in an iControl4 control system. In this case the last panel in the bus must always be terminated. The terminating resistor of the other panels must be switched off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For switching the terminating resistor there is a double DIP switch on the backside of the \u00bbiControl4 Control Panel\u00ab (see \u00bbFunction of the double DIP Switch\u00ab<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note: <\/strong>
    The automatic start function can be activated\/deactivated on each panel<\/strong> in the bus.
    The automatic start contact may only be connected to the panel with address 1<\/strong>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
