Difference between Master and Slave Modules

It is possible to add up to seven additional slave modules together with one master module.
The differences between the master module and the slave module are as follows:

Installing Master / Slave Modules

Make sure that the chassis neatly locks into the module holder during the installation of the master
module and the slave module.
Figure 5.1 Master / slave modules
The chassis has to lock into the module holder as follows:
Figure 5.2 Installing master / slave modules
• Please make sure that the module holder's stem locks into the borehole of the chassis safely. The
chassis clip has to be visible in the middle of the module holder (See inside circle of Figure 5.2).
• Connect only the master module to the door controller via the 6 position screw terminal (i).
• Connect the slave modules with the 20 cm flat cables.
The connection from the master module to its adjacent slave module is made by the longer flat ca-
ble (24 cm).

Removing the Configuration Bridge

Disconnect the configuration bridge (j) at the last slave module or on the last slave module's PCB or
on the master module's PCB.
Disconnect the bridge when the sensor is not powered.
Before carrying out this step, touch the chassis lever.
