    SICOM Panels A - SiCOM1 port, used for an optional power input (e.g. extra port to connect a SIMARINE module). B - SiCOM2 port, used for an optional power input. C - SiCOM PANEL port, used to connect the Caravan Panel.
  • Page 6: Resistance & Voltage Inputs

    Resistance & Voltage Inputs A - Resistance inputs, the cable arrangement doesn't matter, because the cable used here is black (the black cable goes to R and GND). The resistance inputs are for potential connections that are resistance based (e.g. tanks, freezer, etc.). B - Voltage inputs, used for user sensors.
