Prince Castle Extender Cable Kit, P/N PC-COMEXT.
The factory default address for Main bins and timers is address 1.
The factory default address for Specialty bins and timers is address 2.
If a third bin is used, the address must be set at 3.
The factory default address for the Retro Bun Timer is bunF.
IMPORTANT: Each timer must have a different address.

and timers be set consecutively to addresses 1 through 3.
