Communication module cable
You use the communication module cable to connect the communication modules (e.g.
RF180C and ASM 456) to the optical reader. The communication module cable is pre-
fabricated.
Note that when using the power supply via the communication module, you must enable the
setting "Settings > Options > Lighting > Power supply via POU or CM".
