Replacing an Existing VAC
When a VAC needs to be replaced, a Maintenance operator can automatically configure the new VAC with the previous
VAC’s settings, using the “CloneVAC” menu option. This eliminates the need to re
-run the Install Wizard by wirelessly
transferring all settings and meters from the previous VAC to the replacement VAC, based on the last reported data for
the specified VAC ID number.
IMPORTANT: When replacing an existing VAC, DO
NOT use the VAC’s Install Wizard!
After connecting a replacement VAC to an existing VAC
cable, the VAC screen will display an error message when
it powers up. Ignore this error.
