EPI BR-990 switchbox

[noirue]

I have purchased an EPI BR-990 switchbox and was told I would be able to program it so that the first switch would turn on all the others (master switch). So far I have been unable to do this and it did not come with any instructions. Can this unit do this or have I been lied to? If so, how do I program it? So far I can get the unit to turn on and all of the switches work individually but I need to turn everything on using one switch.

Thanks horsepowerphoto - I have tried holding S1 and S2 for five seconds (and longer) but nothing happens. Same goes for S5 & S6.

That is really weird... I have the 993, which is basically the same switch with pursuit buttons at the top, and that's how I program mine. I am not sure if it makes any difference or not, but press them both at the same time, not #1 first, then #2.... Maybe?

Yeah I don't know if it's just a dodgy unit or if it's not supposed to work that way :undecided:

Well, I am pretty sure its supposed to work that way... Like I said, the units are basically the same... And the instructions I posted are for that specific switch... So I would say it could be faulty?

In that case could I produce the same effect by hard-wiring in a few diodes between switches?

On an unrelated note, do you happen to know how to change the legends on a 990

They are just stickers...

I had to turn the power switch off hold 1&2 down and turn the unit on for 10 seconds to get into pursuit mode to switch 1. I believe holding 5&6 while turning on the unit on selects momentary mode
