Once the conveyor controls are linked, begin the process of switching the
conveyors into LINK mode.
Every conveyor must have the LINK button pressed in and illuminated.
Except
the last conveyor in the run.
The last conveyor in a chain must have the LINK
button in the out position and not illuminated.
Start and mid conveyors in the run have illuminated LINK button
End conveyor of ANY run to have the LINK button out and not illuminated
Example:
If 5 conveyors have the controls linked. The first 4 conveyors will have the LINK
button pressed and illuminated. The last conveyor will have the LINK button out
and not illuminated.
This is the same if linking 2 or 20 conveyors.

The conveyor system will now be able to start and stop from any conveyor
along the line. The only functions that are not linked are the FAST/ SLOW
function and the REVERSE function.
The FAST/ SLOW function is not included in the control link due to varying
angles being deployed. The steeper conveyors will generally run at a faster
speed than the flat conveyors. This is to minimise any build up accumulating in
the hopper.
