6-6 CLEAR THE MEMORY
N O T E
Erasing Nonvolatile Memory erases all user data for the amplier stored in its
nonvolatile memory and the INFO-BOX. This includes the following:
• the elapsed hours on is set to zero;
• the text set for CALL is deleted;
• the information stored for recent 12 protection trips is cleared;
• selection for LOW-NORMAL-HIGH of GAIN is set to NORMAL;
• the amplier self-address in local network is set to 01;
• the last segment and antenna in use is set to 1800-1825 ANT1;
• all USR-tuning settings for all segments and antennas are set to DEFAULT;
• the auto antenna change mode is set to ON.
• the AUTO OPERATE selection is set to OFF.
If you are fully convinced that you want all of these actions to take place, choose “YES” and
then leave the menu pressing the SET/EXIT button.
The procedure is now completed and the amplier remains in OFF state with no user data in
it. The serial numbers of the RCU, amplier and its tubes as well as the rmware revision code
and DEFault tuning settings, however, are preserved.
N O T E
After this procedure set new data in OFF-menu and update the USR-tunings
for the frequency segments and antennas to be used (see S.4-1).
7. CAT OPERATION AND CONNECTIONS
Most of the modern transceivers that have the operating frequency data available on an auxiliary
serial port could be connected to Acom2000A by means of a CAT connection. This will enable
the amplier to track the frequency of the transceiver and to tune up automatically when entering
a new segment without transmitting.
Because of the variety of CAT protocols, the amplier response could vary when used with
different transceivers.
Some older transceivers use very slow protocol and send the frequency data with delay up to
few seconds. The amplier’s response will also be delayed. In some cases when the transceiver
is turned ON after the amplier you may need to actuate the RCU CAT/FREQ button in order
for the radio to announce its frequency.
In other cases the transceiver sends the frequency data only when the frequency changes.
You may have to move its main dial, or change its frequency by another way to let the amplier
know the transceiver frequency after the initial power ON.
