Radio channels
Evo controllers that show the
MULTI
logo on
their front panels offer a greatly increased
number of radio communication channels (1
to 17). This compares with the first generation (
Standard
) Evo
controllers, which provide channels 1 and 2.
When mixing Multi-channel and standard controllers
If
all
of your Evo controllers are the
MULTI
type, then you can use
any of the available 17 channels:
However, if your installation contains
any
standard Evo controllers
(those that do not have the MULTI logo) then you must choose
either channel
1
or channel
2
for all units.
All controllers are
MULTI
,
so any channel between
1
and
17
can be used.
If you choose channels
3
to
17
then the standard controller(s) will
not be found and the installation will not run.
IMPORTANT: Obviously, you need to ensure that all controllers
within a set are configured to use the same radio channel.
One or more controllers are
Standard
(non-MULTI), so only
channels
1
or
2
can be used.
