Network Analyzer

To assist with troubleshooting, the unit contains Crestron’s patent-pending network

analyzer to continuously monitor the integrity of the Cresnet network for wiring

faults and marginal system performance or other network errors. For more

information on how to use the network analyzer, refer to the SIMPL Windows help

file and use the index to search for “Network Analyzer”.

NOTE: The PAC2’s network analyzer also monitors the networks connected

through the built-in hub/repeater.

Battery Replacement

A Lithium battery is used to power the system clock within the PAC2. Under normal

conditions, it lasts for approximately 10 years. In the event the clock fails, only an

authorized technician should replace it. Refer to caution statement below.

CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only

with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used

batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Check Network Wiring

Use the Right Wire

To ensure optimum performance over the full range of the installation topology, use

Crestron Certified Wire only. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if

support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using improper

wire.

Calculate Power

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to

do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to

unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Use the Crestron Power

Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system
