Switch Bus Terminator Resistor
NOTES:
 Requires DataLinkII 3.8.5 or greater
 Requires a SmartWire Extension cable #580-CA-BN5P-xxx for connection to SmartWire or currently
installed switch bus devices. xxx refers to the length, available in 6", 12", 18", 24", 36", 48", 60", 72",

Description:

The Switch Panel contains 1 momentary push button, 7 two-way toggle switches, and 8 status LEDs. This
device allows a total of 8 inputs into the SmartWire system which can be utilized to operate any of the outputs
on the SmartWire System.
Switch Names: Name of each switch. Can be changed to match the function of each switch. It is
recommended to start the name with a reference to the type (ex: Switch Panel Input #2 for Ignition = "SP#2
Ignition"). Name must start with a letter. Keep in mind each switch can have multiple functions/outputs due
its ability to be used in multiple output control logic windows.
Example; one switch can turn on multiple items (outputs) such as fuel pumps, ignition system
together along with other outputs of the SmartWire with one flip of the switch. This along with
other logic and Time Delay features can be used to stagger outputs with other inputs/outputs.
Status IDs: The Status ID represents action of the LED lights above the toggle switches. The Status ID can be
used to simply monitor the status of the toggle switch (Switch On x0) or to indicate the status of any selected
output by selecting the channel in the pull-down menu desired to monitor. The Status ID can monitor any
selected output channel, regardless of the output channel the switch actually controls.

Hardware Installation

NOTE: Once installed, the Terminating Resistor settings must be programmed for each item on the Switch
Port in the DataLinkII software. By Default, all items on the Switch Bus are shipped with the Switch Bus
Terminating Resistor set to ON. If more than one device is connected to the Switch Port on the SmartWire
main unit, only the last items in line must have the Switch Bus Terminating Resistor set to ON, all other
devices between last device and the SmartWire main unit, must be set to OFF.
NOTE: Avoid mounting near heat sources and high voltage ignition wires. The Switch Panel must be
mounted in a location the temperature does not exceed 185 degrees or the panel will be damaged.
