5. Plug the serial communication board into its connector J3. 

Ensure that the board connectors are properly aligned and that the cable connection is 
at the rear of the unit.

6. Attach the cover plate using the two small screws. 

7. Replace the cover and secure it with the two screws. 

NOTE

Vacuum Technologies cannot guarantee compliance with FCC 
regulations for radiated emissions unless all external wiring is 
shielded. 

There are two shielded mini–DIN connectors to facilitate 
connections to the rest of the network. These are in parallel and 
permit easy daisy–chaining of multiple units. The connections 
are listed in Table 1-6 and are shown in Figure 1-2.
