Connection to Control Surfaces 

 
The control-unit(s) can be connected to the control-unit 1 and 2 connector. The surface connected to 
connector ‘TO CNTRL UNIT 1’ will always contain module 1-4 and the surface connected to connector  
‘TO CNTRL UNIT 2’ will always control module 5-8.

Table 8: Pinning Control Surface connector 

 
The power-supply for the control surface comes through the 15 pin cable. It's very important to never 
extend the cable any further than the maximum specified length of  5m. This is also the length of the 
cable delivered with the package. If the voltage drop on the +5 volt lines becomes to large the control-
surface won't function properly.
