Display Interconnections
Signal travels from the host driver jack J9 to additional display
drivers through the Line-to-Line cable. Line-to-line connections are made using jacks
J9 and J10 on the driver.
The preferred cable routing has signal leaving each driver from jack J9
and entering the next driver on jack J10
Each time you connect the line-to-line cable to J9, you must also
connect the drain wire to the upper-left stud that holds the driver in
place.
1. Connect the provided line-to-line cable, shown in Figure 1, to
host driver jack J9. The host driver can be identified by having
the communication option attached to jack J16.
2. Place the drain wire of the line-to-line cable on the upper-left
stud that holds the driver in place, as shown in Figure 2.
3. Place the 6-32 nut on the stud and tighten it with a 5/16" nut
driver, as shown in Figure 3.

sources, any type of motor, etc.
• Pull excess cable into the display cabinet, coil cable, zip tie it together and carefully place coil inside the
display cabinet.
