Connecting FOX3-2G/3G/4G to the control-box
1.

setting).
2.
Plug in the 8pin double row connector (1a) of cable (1) to the 8pin main port on the FOX3-2G/3G/4G
device. To unplug, press the "lever" on the back of this connector (1a) and pull it out.
3.
Plug in the 6pin double row connector (1b) of cable (1) to the 6pin accessory port on FOX3-2G/3G/4G.

4.
Now, unpack the power supply from the box and plug it into the left input socket on the control-box
marked "INPUT 12.0V … 32.0V”. Then plug the AC adapter into the wall socket of your 220V electric
mains (to access British/American wall socket use the included UK/US adaptor accordingly).
5.
Even the FOX3-2G/3G/4G series devices provide two serial ports (except LITE models which have only
one serial port), the control-box offers only one serial port for the communication with them. That
means if you would like to connect and test a third-party-product to a FOX3-2G/3G/4G series device
you have to use the second serial port (
the serial port [RX,TX,GND] on the 6pin connector
) instead of
the first serial port which is available on the control-box. That means, please do not reconfigure the
first serial port, except when you have already a self-made serial cable for the second port (accessory
port)
.
3.1.3
Charge the internal battery and power up the device

To charge the internal battery, follow the steps below:
1.
After connecting the AC adapter to the Control-Box and into the wall socket, apply power to the
control box and FOX3-2G/3G/4G device by turning just the “
+IN
” switch to “
