NOTE: The 8 Pin Terminal Block is supplied with the mating connector. The10 Pin
Header is NOT SUPPLIED with a mating connector. (Use AMP 3-1437026-4 or
equivalent).
Both the RS-232 and the RS-485 Expansion Modules utilize the
MicroLYNX COMM 2 port. Therefore, the two Modules
CANNOT be used in conjunction with each other. Only one of
the two interfaces can be used with the CAN Version Micro-
LYNX at any given time.
