Appendix E: Cloning using Digital (S 3 L)
(Serial Cloning)
Cloning enables copying the programming from one unit into
another unit. After one 8900 is completely programmed, it
becomes a Master (SEND) unit that can download its settings to a
Slave (RECEIVE) 8900.

Step 1: Controller Designations
1. Designate the 8900 controller that will receive the data and
refer to this controller as the Receiving Controller.
2. Designate the other 8900 controller as the Transmitting
Controller.
Step 2: Wiring
1. Connect terminal 9 of both controllers together with a single
wire conductor.
2. Connect terminal 10 of both controllers together with a single
wire conductor. See Figure 1.
Step 3: Confi gure the Receiving Controller
1. Go to the Option menu and scroll until you see the
“Clone Port” menu item and set the selection to “S3L”, if
not already set.
2. Scroll down to the “Clone Operation” menu item and set
it to “Receive”, if not already set.

7. The message "Are You Sure?" will be followed by the
previous message and will also be displayed for about 3
seconds.
DO NOT press the ENTER key yet.
8. The Receiving Controller is now ready to start the cloning
process, but the Transmitting Controller must also be
