C-Bus Learn Mode - handy features

If you are unable to "scan" your C-Bus network due to it missing a network burden or network clock, Learn mode might help you.  Connect only two of your output units together to form a "mini C-Bus network", then put them into "LEARN MODE".  Leave them untouched in learn mode for approximately 1 minute, then exit learn mode.  Learn mode will typically have moved one of the units to unit address 001 and applied a software burden and network clock to it.
