Frequently Asked Questions
The Link function allows chaining multiple GEC5-Links together, essentially doubling the preset capacity. The maximum expansion is not explicitly stated, but likely limited by the number of available presets and the complexity of control.
Moen’s relay design is generally quiet, but some users may still experience a faint click depending on their system's grounding and cable quality. Proper setup and quality cabling are essential to minimize any noise.
Unfortunately, the GEC5-Link lacks MIDI implementation. Preset recall and control are limited to the unit's physical buttons and 'On the Fly' mode – manual operation only.
