Networking the panel
The EVACS 1-16 allows up to 16 panels to be connected over RS485 network interface, with each panel, or module,
acting as a 2-channel zone. Individual panels or zones can then be controlled by the master panel.
The network address can be set using switches 1-4 of the DIP switch located on the amplifier board. The master
panel or a panel which is not part of a network must be set an address of 1.
