When you replace to a board for service, the written destination data of the board for service also might be changed to original setting.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “Destination data write”.

When you replace to a board for service, get the data from the former one.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “RESTORE DATA” to get the data. 
The data getting for this model is as follows.

• PRODUCT ID & USB SERIAL No.
• Angular Velocity Sensor sensitivity
• AWB standard data input & check, Color reproduction check

The unit is shipped after an ID (USB Serial No.) unique to each unit and an ID (Product ID) unique to each model have been written.
These IDs have not been written in a new board for service, and therefore they must be entered after the board replacement.
After the board has been replaced with a board for service, start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “PRODUCT ID & 
USB SERIAL No. INPUT” and enter these IDs.

Note: 

A newly entered Product ID is not always equal to the ID before board replacement. If the new ID differs from the previous ID, it may cause a difference 
from the ID registered by the customer.

When replacing the SY board, the CPU’s unique number (MAC address) must be reloaded. Perform the following procedure to reload the 
CPU’s unique number (MAC address).
1.  Download the latest-version Adjust manual from the TISS homepage.
2.  Install the downloaded Adjust manual.
3.  Execute “Wireless LAN check” on the ADJUST tab.

If “Wireless LAN check” is not executed and the backup data before replacement is restored, the MAC address in the Wi-Fi module does not 
match the MAC address in the flash memory, causing an error during Wi-Fi transfer.

A password required for Wi-Fi connection is recorded in every SY board. A label to present the password to the customer is stuck to every SY 
board for service. When the SY board is replaced, attach this label to the unit to be sent back.

Note:  The new SSID and password can be checked on the PC connected to the unit with a USB cable.

Applicable parts

• SY-1023 BOARD, COMPLETE (SERVICE)

Note:  The [DATA LOAD AND WRITE] function in “ADJUSTMENT DATA BACKUP” on the DATA tab in the Adjust manual overwrites all data of the 

unit. Therefore, the MAC address updated during the above procedure is also overwritten. Perform the above operations “Update of MAC Address” 
after all work has been done.

After the replacement and repair, the MAC address is changed, and thus the re-setting for connection devices is required. Accordingly, down-
load the Flyer of WLAN Reset (Flyer of WLAN Reset_9834752[][].pdf) from the TISS homepage and print out it, and attach it to the set when 
returning the set to customer.

When you replace to a board for service, write down the sensitivity displayed on the angular velocity sensor (SE401).
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “Angular velocity sensor sensitivity ADJ”.

P: PITCH sensor sensitivity

Y: YAW sensor sensitivity

Note: The sensor sensitivity of SE401 of SY-1023 board is written only service part.
