To set the parameters in “pCO” family controllers, you will need:
-- Modbus/USB converter kit CVSTDUTLF0 (Blue Box code MICA5410) for connection to the "pCO" controller with te-
lephone cable, or Modbus/USB converter kit CVSTDUMOR0 (Blue Box code MICA5415) for connection to the "pCO"
controller with cable 3 x 0.5 mm2;
