unlocked (fully right) position.

connectors (2) line up with each other.
4. Push the bus lever back slightly to clear the positioning tab (3). Use
your fingers or a small screwdriver.
5. To allow communication between the controller and module, move the
bus lever fully to the left (4) until it clicks. Ensure it is locked firmly in
place.
6. Attach an end cap terminator (5) to the last module in the system by
using the tongue-and-groove slots as before.

connection.
