SLM Connection with the DX System 

5.3.1

 

DX BUS Connections 

 

 

 

 

Note: 

If only one DX BUS connector is used on the SLM and the remaining 

connector is accessible to the wheelchair user, a GPL65009 DX BUS 

Connector Cover should be fitted to the unused connector. This complies 

with the ISO 7176-14 standard. 

 

Like all other DX Modules, the SLM is connected to the DX system using the DX BUS. 

Refer to the DX System Manual for more information regarding DX BUS cables. 

 

 

Note: 

The order and positioning of the SLM within the DX system is important and 

must be based on the rules discussed in section 5.3.2 and 5.3.3.
