The primary function of this guide is to acquaint the user
with the specifications and configuration of the CAN
Version MicroLYNX Isolated Communications Modules. The
full MicroLYNX product manual is available in Acrobat PDF
format on the IMS Product CD. It also may be downloaded
from the IMS web site at www.imshome.com.
N o t e s A n d W a r n i n g s
Please observe the following when handling, connecting
and using your MicroLYNX Expansion Modules. Failure to
observe these points may result in damage. All warranty
and disclaimer information is located in the full product
manual and should be referenced for more information.
The MicroLYNX Expansion Module components are sensitive to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). All handling should be done at an
ESD protected workstation.
Hazardous Voltage Levels may be present if using an open frame
power supply to power the MicroLYNX Controller and Modules.
Do not connect or disconnect the AC power or the motor leads
with the AC power on.

Both the RS-232 and the RS-485 Expansion Modules utilize the
MicroLYNX COMM 2 port. Therefore, the two Modules
CANNOT be used in conjunction with each other. Only one of
the two interfaces can be used with the CAN Version Micro-
LYNX at any given time.
