Products and Accessories Code Number Description MS-FITCASE-0 FIT carrying case; includes one soft-sided carrying case FX-BTCVTCBL-700 FIT cable replacement; includes one 5 ft. (1.5m) retractable cable Physical Features The FIT is a portable handheld device.
The FIT is provided with a RJ-12 connector cable that is connected to the FC/SA 6 pin RJ-12 jack found on most Johnson Controls® controllers. The FIT also has a Four-Pin removable terminal block that is used to wire the FIT to the FC/SA bus. When the FIT is connected to the FC bus, it can only see the devices directly connected on the FC bus, but not the SA bus.
Firmware revision, EOL termination switch, and other attributes. The 1-ON-1 mode is used to verify the operation of any single controller that does not communicate on the bus. It is used to help determine if a Johnson Controls manufactured controller is defective.
