Connecting a USB hub

If you wish to connect more than two devices to the USB connector of the
846 Dosing Interface, you can also use an additional commercially availa-
ble USB hub (distributor). If you operate the 846 Dosing Interface with the
help of the Touch Control, then you should use a USB hub with its own
power supply.

Connect the USB hub as follows:

1 Switch off the Touch Control and/or exit the PC software.

2 With the aid of the 6.2151.020 cable, connect the USB connector

(type A) of the 846 Dosing Interface with the USB connector of the
hub (type B, see manual for the hub).

3 Switch on the Touch Control.

The USB hub is recognized automatically.
