4.3 Installing the instrument
This section describes how to start up the Mastercycler pro with the control panel and how to operate
several devices belonging to the Mastercycler pro and Mastercycler ep series with each other in a network.
4.3.1 Operating a Mastercycler pro via a control panel
4.3.2 Operating multiple Mastercycler pro via a control panel ("mini-satellite" system)
A control panel can be used to control up to five devices belonging to the Mastercycler pro or Mastercycler
ep series (also in combination). Each additional device connected requires its own CAN bus cable. CAN bus
cables are available separately for purchase (see Accessories on p. 85).
The connections and switches are located at the back of the device (see Main illustration on
p. 9).
• Follow the steps below to define the settings and connect the devices before switching on
the Mastercycler pro.
• Never disconnect the control panel from a Mastercycler pro that is switched on.
1. Connect the cable on the control panel to the Control Panel connector of the
Mastercycler pro.
2. Set Term switch to ON (lower position).
3. Use the address dials to set the address of the Mastercycler pro to 01. To do this,
turn the left dial into position 0 and the right dial to 1, as shown in the illustration.
4. Connect the power cable to the Mastercycler pro and to the mains supply.
CAUTION! Connected devices may be shut down due to a power supply overload.
The total current consumption of the devices can exceed the maximum permitted supply
rating when multiple power sockets are used. In this case, the mains fuse interrupts the
electric circuit. The connected devices are shut down.
 Do not use multiple sockets when connecting several Mastercycler pro.
