MasterBus is a CAN based, data network for communication between Mastervolt devices. The main connection to communi-
cate with each MasterBus interface is MasterAdjust. MasterAdjust software is available as free to download software on the
Mastervolt website: www.mastervolt.com. This tool runs on a Windows PC/notebook. Another option is to use a control panel
such as the EasyView 5.
