Note 3: When more than one module is connected on the bus an error message (see Fig. 5.4) will be shown.
Note that this doesn’t mean mandatory that there is incorrectly put module but the user is encourages
carefully to check the modules before click button Yes.
Note 4: If in a SMBus network there is a module with address zero it will be not reported. A module with
SMBus address zero will be reported if it is the only one connected to board. Also modules with the same
SMBus addresses connected to the network will cause conflict on the bus when operation reading is done.
Note 5: It is strongly recommended to save factory default EEPROM of every new MLX90614 before
doing anything else with it (See below how to do that).
Note6: schematics for PCBs to attach multiple modules using connector 1 can be found on page 20.
