X-line module setup 

 

The system installation’s second step. 

On  this  screen  the  distributor  heads 
must be bound to the X-LiNE modules. 

Press on any of the little grey field and 
set the distributor head’s number, which 
distributor head belongs to the given X-
LiNE module. 

If  there  are  more  than 
five  X-LiNE  modules  in 
the  system,  use  the 

paging  buttons

  to  page  through  them. 

(Only  five  X-LiNE  module  can  be 
displayed on a screen at the same time.) 

The  next  button  becomes 
active if the binding has done 
right.  For  example:  in  case  of 

two  distributor  heads  there  wasn’t  set 
bigger value than two. 

By pressing the next button the system 
installation continues with the next step. 

By  pressing  the  back  button, 
the  application  goes  back  to
