Protocol: MN/2009/056 - Rev. 1.0 RIS Hi-Mod - Installation Guide and User Manual 36 / 41 Fig. 2-9 – Connecting the DAD Control Unit to the battery pack and switching on button (red color) Press the red button to switch on the DAD control unit (Fig. 2-9). This button has to be kept pressed until the blue on switch lights up. If the K2_FW software is not activated within 30 seconds, the indicator light will start to flash. As soon as the K2_FW software is activated the indicator light stop s flashing and appears a constant blue light. If, however, the Software is not activated within about 2 minutes 30 seconds, the DAD unit will automatically shut down. Once the K2_FW software has been shut down, the indicator will flash for about 30 seconds and will automatically shut down after 2 minutes. ! W AR NI NG DON’T CONNECT the Battery Cable to the Remote connector found on each IDS TR antenna; IDS declines any responsibility for damage caused to the system due to erroneous connections.
