Cabling:
- Always have the system powered OFF when connecting and disconnecting the 9 pin and 15 pin cables. Electronics will blow if this is not done!
- Only one power supply is needed for the system for any of the above configurations. Power may be connected to the 2.1mm power jack on either the LIFT or FENCE.
LIFT Only Configuration: Plug power supply into LIFT
The LCD can be connected directly to the LIFT using a 15:9 pin adapter and DB9M-M Cable
FENCE Only Configuration: Plug the power supply into the FENCE
The LCD can be connected directly to the FENCE using a 15 pin cable (9 pin cable and adapter not used)
LIFT & FENCE Configuration: Plug power supply into either LIFT or FENCE
The LCD is connected directly to the FENCE using a 15 pin cable. The LIFT is then connected from the FENCE to the LIFT using a 9 pin cable. The 15:9 adapter is not used.

Troubleshooting:
- Isolation is a good troubleshooting technique. Connect only one device, LIFT or FENCE, keeping in mind which device is causing the problems.
- When seeing strange things on the system, executing the Factory Restore App (located in the Apps menu) can be helpful.
- If connecting only the LIFT to an LCD which displays both LIFT and FENCE buttons à Pressing the FENCE buttons actually control the LIFT
