Prior to power-up, set the jumper for the correct Remote/Local configuration. Place a
jumper on pins 1and 2to set the module for Remote control, or pins 2and 3to set the
module for Local control.
Figure 2-2 Jumper CJ3/CJS3 for Remote and Local Control
The Local setting locks out external control panels and allows card-edge control only;
remote software applications can monitor, but not control the module. The Remote setting
allows either remote or local (card-edge) configuration, operation, and monitoring.
At the rear of the front module, Jumper CJ2 is factory-set and should not be modified.
Maximum Frame Power Ratings
ACO6800+AES modules operate only in fan-cooled FR6822+QXFE frames, or FR6822+F
frames containing a 6800+ETH module, subject to the limitations shown in Table 2-1.
CAUTION: To maintain proper air flow and internal frame temperature, ensure that
the front panel is closed at all times and that the fan module is fully operational.

Installing ACO6800+AES Modules
ACO6800+AES products can be installed in an FR6822+QXFE frame, or an FR6822+F frame
containing a 6800+ETH module, except in slots 6 and 14.
When installing both front and rear modules together, ensure that the back module is
installed first before plugging in the front module. During removal, ensure that the front
module is unplugged from the frame first, before removing the rear module. Do not mix
ACO6800+AES front and back modules. -BD, -CD, and -CDL back modules must be
matched with their own front modules.
Any unused loop outputs on the -CDL back should have a 75Ωtermination.
See your Frame Installation and Operation Manual for general information about installing
back modules in a frame.
CAUTION: Before installing this product, read the 6800+Series Safety Instructions
and Standards Manual available on our website, or on the Harris Infrastructure and
Networking Documentation DVD. This safety manual contains important
information about the safe installation and operation of 6800+series products.
Upgrading Module Firmware
This module’s firmware can be updated using CCS Navigator version 4.7 or higher, or the
HTTP software upgrade tool. In order to perform these upgrades, the frame must be
equipped with a 6800+ETH module, version 4.7 or higher. See your frame manual for more
information.
Operating Notes
When setting the control parameters on the ACO6800+AES, note the following:
If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be
affected or become disabled. See ACO6800+AES Control Parameters on page 16 for
more information.
When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires
up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are
saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.
When you set the Factory Recall parameter to Yes, the module takes several seconds
to reset all of the parameters to their default settings.

Changing Parameter Settings
For best results, use a software control (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in viewing,
setting, and confirming parameter values. Follow these steps to change the parameter
settings:
1Rotate the mode select rotary switch (hex switch) to 0.
2Once the hex switch is set to 0, toggle the navigation switch up or down to select a bank.
View the two control LEDs next to the navigation toggle switch to see which bank is
currently selected.
See page 16 to view the various banks, hex switch positions, and corresponding parameter
options and values.
3Rotate the hex switch to the parameter number (1to 9) or letter (Ato F) of the option you
want to set.
4Toggle the navigation switch to select and set the value of the chosen parameter.
5Rotate the hex switch to another parameter number/letter in the current bank, and then
repeat step 4.
or
Rotate the hex switch to the 0position again to select a different bank, and then repeat
steps 3 and 4.
Recalling Default Parameter Settings
See page 16 for all of the parameter settings for the ACO6800+AES modules, including the
original factory defaults. To return this module to its default settings, you can either reset
each parameter individually or do a global recall following this procedure:
1Rotate the hex switch to 0.
2Toggle the navigation switch to the bank number 0.
Use the control LEDs to verify which bank you have selected, or use an available 6800+
software control option (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in confirming your bank
selection.
3Rotate the hex switch to the global recall parameter F.
4Toggle the navigation switch to On.
Use an available 6800+software control option to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming
the parameter value.
