### Expansion Port
The expansion port can be used to daisy-chain several Opta® Expansions and additional modules. To be accessed needs to be freed up from its breakable plastic cover and the connection plug added between each device.
The expansion port can be used to daisy-chain several Opta® Expansions and additional modules. To access it, it needs to be freed from its breakable plastic cover, and the connection plug needs to be added between each device.

It supports up to 5 expansion modules. To avoid potential communication issues, ensure the total number of connected modules does not exceed 5.

If any issues occur with module detection or data exchange, double-check the connections and ensure the **Aux connector and clips are securely installed** within the expansion port. If problems persist, inspect for any loose or improperly connected cables.
