INSTALLATION

…ELECTRIC INSTALLATION
Communication between machines.
Ex can communicate with other Ex
’s and share information about where the fish are, or to prevent all
machines pulling the line to the surface at the same time. For this, two wires are used in the power
cable. The Brown and the White. The installation is done so that all white cables of the machine (one
from each Ex) are connected together, in the easiest way is twisted together or with a screw terminal.
Connect the Brown in the same way. DO NOT connect Brown and White together. Note that all of the
machines in the network must be powered from same battery system (at least the battery minus pole).
Now the machines are mechanically prepared. What remains is to set up the values for the
communication in the display menu. Take a look at the Communication-1 and special sections. To
easily get started, step-by-step instructions are given. Machines with software older than 1.1834
must be upgraded with new software for this to be available.
