Typical Connection Diagram
You can connect only one power source which is the Freedom X | XC series.
The Combox has no power switch. As long as the Combox and the Freedom X | XC
series are connected and Freedom X | XC series is connected to a battery, the
Combox will receive power.
Only one auxiliary device can be connected at any time. In this diagram,
a universal control monitor is connected via the RV-C port.
****CAN network 120-ohm termination may be required.

Troubleshooting
| PROBLEM | CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|---|---|---|
| The Com box’s LED indicators do not seem to be lighting up. | The Combox is not | |
| receiving power. | Check that the Freedom X I XC series is connected to a |
battery.

the Combox and Freedom X I XC series’s RJ-12 Remote ports.
Check that a battery is connected to the Freedom X I XC series for power.
The auxiliary RV-C device is not receiving information.| RV-C 4-pin connector
with pigtail is wired incorrectly.| Check that CAN wires are terminated
properly and correspond to the PORT (pin) assignments.
The Combox is not receiving power.| Check that the Freedom X I XC series is
powered and is connected by RJ-12 cable to the Com box.
The Freedom X remote panel device is not receiving information.| The Combox is
not receiving power.| Check that Freedom X remote panel is powered and is
