Multilinking is a way to connect multiple Knight-Trak II dispensers in a laundry. Once connected, you can
"talk" to all dispensers from a single connection.
(1) Before connecting the multilinking cable, use the LFP to give each dispenser its own ID number. If
dispensers on the multilink have the same ID number, they will not work correctly. THIS MUST BE
DONE BEFORE YOU CAN "LOG-ON" WITH REPORTER PC SOFTWARE OVER THE
NETWORK.
(2) Using shielded cable, connect the multilink barriers on each POB in series. Be careful to keep the
polarity the same on each dispenser.
(3) A booster transformer must be used if multilinked dispensers are connected to a PC running with
Reporter software. See Reporter network diagram included in this manual.
Connecting the Knight-Trak II dispenser network to an on-site PC requires plugging-in the network cable
to the jack on the POB (Pump Output Board) and connecting other end to a wall-mount booster
transformer and RM-6000. Please see diagram included in this manual for details. For laptop computers,
connect the RM-6000 to the female jack on the LFP.
remote location. See The Reporter Dispenser Network diagram (included in this manual) for more
information on connecting modems to the network. Please refer to the RM-6000 or WinReporter
instruction manual for actual setup of the remote modem. A dedicated phone line must be installed
and connected to the on-site modem.
NOTE: For installations that require telephone modem and on-site PC access, contact the sales office
