Network Analyzer
To assist with troubleshooting, the unit contains Crestron’s patent-pending network
analyzer to continuously monitor the integrity of the Cresnet network for wiring
faults and marginal system performance or other network errors. For more
information on how to use the network analyzer, refer to the SIMPL
Windows
help file and use the index to search for "Network Analyzer".
NOTE: The PAC2s network analyzer will also monitor the networks connected
through the built-in hub/repeater.
Battery Replacement
A Lithium battery is used to power the system clock within the 2-Series automation
control system. Under normal conditions, it will last for approximately 10 years. In
the event that the clock fails, only an authorized technician should replace it. Refer to
caution statement below.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
