Chapter one will point you to a specific section in chapter 5 and only that section. Then that section may point you somewhere else. You have to be real careful to go where you are pointed and then back.

I would suggest that before you receive your control system that you download the manual and read if very carefully and familiarize yourself with it. It will make the whole process easier.
OK....I'll bite. WHY do the manuals flow in this manner? Is it not possible to make them more "linear" for the betterment of all? If the info is complete but jumbled, can this not be corrected fairly easily?
