Getting Started
In this section, we will assume that you have either completed the installation
of the controller into the repeater, or you are simulating a repeater with
switches for COR signals, LEDs for PTT loads, and so on. To perform the
installation of your new controller, see the Installation appendix on page C-1.
If desired, the controller can be programmed on your workbench, then moved
to the repeater site for installation.
Note: Be sure to transport the controller in anti-static packing material. Large
electrostatic discharges can damage components and destroy the data stored
in memory.
Power ON Initialization
Initialize Controller
Each time power is applied to the controller, it will check to see if the Initialize
Push- Button is being pressed. (The initialize push-button is located in the right
rear corner of the main board.) At that moment, the controller will decide
whether to retrieve default information stored in the EPROM and write it into
the non-volatile RAM (push-button DOWN), or retain the previously-stored
information (push-button UP)
Note: If the initialize push-button is pressed at any other time, it will have no
effect. Likewise, since a specific sequence is needed to initialize your
controller, accidental contact with the push-button will not destroy your
programming efforts.
Controllers are initialized as part of the testing procedure at the factory.
However, we recommend that you do another initialization before attempting to
program the controller.
