aquabus X4 for aquaero 5/6

The aquabus X4 expansion board for aquaero 5 or aquaero 6 devices provides four aquabus connectors for additional aquabus devices.
Connecting multiple aquabus devices to an aquaero usually means using some aquabus splitter cables - the aquabus X4 provides four dedicated aquabus connectors, reducing the number of splitters needed for complex aquabus setups. Additionally, the aquabus X4 board is not just a splitter: A driver chip on the aquabus X4 provides each of the four aquabus connectors with a "clean" aquabus signal for optimum aquabus performance.

Guidelines and recommendations:
- If used with multiple Calitemp sensors, each Calitemp sensor must be connected to an individual connector of the aquabus X4 board - do not connect two Calitemp sensors to the same connector using splitter cables!
- All other aquabus devices (such as poweradjust, mps, farbwerk, etc.) can be connected to any connector of the aquabus X4 board in any combination, also to ports that are connected to (exactly one) Calitemp sensor. Use aquabus splitters (product codes 53063, 53124 or 53231) to connect multiple devices.
- The aquabus X4 board does not affect the maximum number of aquabus devices to be connected to an aquaero. Refer to the aquaero manual for maximum number of aquabus devices per type.
- Connect a similar number of devices to each of the four aquabus connectors of the aquabus X4 board for optimum performance.
- Do not connect multiple aquabus X4 boards to one aquaero! For additional aquabus connectors, use aquabus splitters (product codes 53063, 53124 or 53231).
- Simultaneous operation of Real Time Clock expansion module and aquabus X4 expansion board is possible. For this purpose, use connection cable 53122 or 53162 and follow the instructions in the manual. Simultaneous (stacked) installation of Real Time Clock module and aquabus X4 expansion board on top of the aquaero board is not possible, the Real Time Clock module has to be mounted separately in this case.
