CHAPTER 4: Operation

4.3 Reconfiguration

If it becomes necessary to reconfigure your A/S2W SHMs for a different type of
operation, you will have to reposition the units’ internal controls. (If you don’t feel
comfortable about doing this yourself, get an experienced technician to do it or to
help you.) Take these steps:

1. Unplug the local unit and temporarily detach the data cables from it.

3. Open the unit’s cover.

4. Referring to Figure 3-1 on page 12 and Table 3-1 on pages 13 through 15, set

the unit’s internal controls to suit the new application.

5. Close the cover.

6. Perform Steps 1 through 5 at the remote site.

7. Reattach the data cables to both units and plug both units back in.

The A/S2W SHMs should begin operating with their new parameters. If there are
problems, make sure that both units are set correctly. If they are, perform the
diagnostic tests described in 

Section 5.1

. If you still can’t solve the problem, call

Black Box as described in 

Section 5.2

.
