Attention
● Check there are no voltage in the communication line
before connection.
● use a V AC range multimetre to check:
● no voltage:
– Between the positive on the Dardo Line and the earthing
– Between the negative on the Dardo Line and the earthing.
● no short circuit:
– between the positive and the negative on the line.
For problems: check for any incorrect connections
with the energy sources.
