SETUP PROCEDURE FOR MULTI-BOARD ARRAYS
Multiple DC1540As can be combined to control as many
output voltages as desired.
1. Connect DC1360A’s to DC1361A’s.
2. Solder wires from the +12V and GND turrets of Master
3. Leave JP1 INSTALLED in the fi rst (Master) board.
4. Plug DC1360A’s together. J3 to J2.
