Installation Manual

In a multi-stack configuration, it is possible to have a stack or a row of four-beam sets
assigned to Group A, with each stack also being assigned to a specific channel, channel M
(Master), 1, 2, or 3. A similar configuration is possible with a multiple stack configuration
assigned to Group B.
Channels 1, 2, and 3 emit beams only when Channel M (Master) is active. Channels 1, 2
and/or 3 emit beams only when connected to the Channel M stack through the use of a
“synchro” wire. Refer to Synchro wiring, page 29 for more details.
