Hardware Installation
4.6. Connecting the Optional MPC-DISPLAY Unit
Use an RJ-45 cable to connect the optional MPC-DISPLAY unit to the MPC unit.
Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the “Remote” connector on the MPC front panel;
connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 receptacle on the back side of the
MPC-DISPLAY unit as described in Appendix C.2.
The MPC-DISPLAY unit will receive five volts of power (for operation) via the RJ-45 cable
connected to the MPC unit.
To display amperage, kilowatts, volts and temperature for the MPC units that are
attached to the MPC-DISPLAY, press the “Display” button to toggle to the LED for
the desired MPC unit, and then press the “Display Selection” button several times to
select the desired reading; each time the “Display Selection” button is pressed, the
LED indicator adjacent to the button will toggle from Amps to Kilowatts to Volts to
Temperature.
