2.2 The Complete Package
The only other thing that comes with the Multi-Head ServSwitch is this manual.
(We don’t include a power supply because most applications don’t require one. If
you need a power supply for the Switch, it can be purchased separately as product
code PS649.)
The only other things that come with the Switch’s optional Remote-Control
Module (the KV6REM series of product codes—see Section 5.2) are Velcro
®
mounting strips.
