Testing the control box and components
Before you install and connect the desired components, you should test the system. In this way you
can determine whether the components work together in the way you want. You thus avoid having
to dismantle the components later.
To test the system, proceed as follows:
➤ Lay out the individual devices.
➤ Connect the devices as described in the following chapter, but without securing the cables.
➤ If necessary, connect the control cables.
➤ Switch the system on.
➤ Check to see whether the components are working together as desired.
✓ If the system is working to your satisfaction, you can secure the devices and cables.

NOTICE!
• Ensure that all lines are connected correctly. The control line may never be
connected to earth; doing so can damage the device. Make especially sure to
insulate the bare end of the control line when it is not in use and thus not connected.
• If you possess a monitor that may only be used for 12 V and 24-V electrics is being
used, a voltage converter must be installed.
