the “Up” port on the top unit and ending at the “Down” port on the bottom unit
(stacking up to 8 units).

stack cable into the Up port on the bottom unit and the other end into the Down
port on the top unit.

6. Select the Master unit in the stack by pressing in the Master button on only
oneof the switches. Only one switch in the stack can operate as the Master, all

Connecting to a Power Source

To connect a switch to a power source:
1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC receptacle located at the back

of the switch.
