AK-PC 781A

Mounting

Mounting of analog output module

1. Lift the top part off the basic module

The basic module must not be connected to voltage.

Press in the plate on the left-hand side of the light-emitting
diodes and the plate on the right-hand side for the red address
changers.
Lift the top part off the basic module.

2. Mount the extension module in the basic module

3. Put the top part back on the basic module

The analog extension module will supply a signal to the ICMTS valve

There are two outputs.
