The 'Host' and 'Guest' FGS versions can be connected in
series. Host and guest devices of different resolutions (14

In contrast to the host sensor, the guest sensor has no LEDs.
The host sensor and guest sensor cannot be operated as
individual devices.
The following must be observed:
Flexible line length between two cascaded devices:
max. 170 mm, shielded.
Fig. 1 in the appendix shows the necessary components. The
host sensor is preassembled with a quick-disconnect plug
and is ready for cascading. The guest sensor is pre-
assembled with cable and cable receptacle (flexible cable
length 170 mm) and is also ready for connection.
