EA-8 Duplicator (ETDUE801) Operating Instructions

  1. Configure an EA-8 System: The user will use the EA-8 Control Panel to configure the EA-8 Power Module from the Instruction Manual. Once the configuration is finished, it is ready to copy. Unplug the EA-8 Control Panel and set it to the side.SoundOff-Signal-EA-8-Controller-EVP-Emergency-Vehicle-Fig- (36)
  2. Copy Configuration: Plug in the EA-8 DUPLICATOR into the RJ45 Jack. Make sure the system is powered and IGN is ON. Press and HOLD B8 for 3 sec. to copy the System configuration. The 10 AMBER LEDs will show progress (moving Left to Right) and B8 will turn Red while copying the configuration. Once complete, there are 2 beeps and Button B5 LED will turn RED to indicate a configuration is loaded. The configuration is copied and you may unplug the EA-8 DUPLICATOR. Then plug the RJ45 cable back into the EA-8 Control Panel and fasten the mount.SoundOff-Signal-EA-8-Controller-EVP-Emergency-Vehicle-Fig- (37)
  3. Paste Configuration: With the previous configuration copied into the EA-8 DUPLICATOR, go to another installation.
