B-MAG I M5000 port adjustment
Navigate to "Main Menu" / "Communication" and adjust the port as follows:
• Interface:
Serial
• Baud rate:
9600
• Parity:
Even
• Address:
1
Note : A permanent enabled interface decreases considerably the battery life-time. We
therefore recommend to disable the interface after use.
Opening the cover:
1. Using a 1/4" slotted screwdriver, remove the two top screws from front of the
amplifier.
2. Loosen the two bottom screws until the screw heads protrude above the surface of
the amplifier door.
3. Open the amplifier door from top to bottom.
Connecting the cable harness:
The individual connector wires are labeled as to where each connector is to be
connected onto the internal circuit board of the amplifier. A connection instruction label
has been placed inside the amplifier for connection reference.
