PC Programming via USB Interface

can be remotely programmed or controlled. For direct communication, the PC and the AMAX
panel have to be connected to each other by the USB cable.

Connecting the PC and the AMAX Panel
1. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the AMAX panel and to one of the USB ports
on the PC.
