termination location.
NOTE: Ensure the following guidelines are followed to avoid
failures during system commissioning:
• One header with termination resistor should be installed
on each component that is at the extreme end of the
control network.
Sequence 1a: IQ Combiner 5/5C → IQ System Controller 3G → IQ Battery(s) 5P
