NOTICE
Use this manual to physically install the communications module into the unit and connect the unit to
your network. You also need the appropriate McQuay Engineering Data Sheet known as Protocol
Information to integrate the unit into your network. Protocol Information contains addressing details,
Modbus® protocol information, and a list of the data points available to the network. See the
Reference Documents section of this document for part numbers of the Protocol Information. These
documents are available from your local McQuay International representative and at the McQuay
International web site: www.mcquay.com.
