Figure 2-32 RC25 Connection to AP50 Control Unit

•

Connect the Robnet connector to the AP50 Control Unit (or
GI51 or NI300X if installed).

•

Alternatively, if there is no free receptacle, cut the connector
from the cable and connect the wires in parallel with the
wires going from the distribution unit to the control unit.

not connect the yellow and the green wires and ensure that
they do not connect with the terminal or chassis.
