Thanks for the link Skip. I just joined. I thought I had searched the groups
for ACC info but must have missed it.

Look in the group's files section for the clock reset
secret password information. You'll need to reset your
clock chip (if it still works) to the proper date
time (a few decades subtracted from the date) and then
enter in a reset password. It works, it's well known...
If not, you can describe the problem with a post to the
group and we'll tell you a similar answer back via our
posts to the group.
cheers,

I've searched the forum and the internet for info on the talking clock
option on our rc-85 w/ v 5.2 firmware but found nothing so far. Our rc-85
is still in use at 4000 ft so I'm collecting data before we visit the site.
Our manual and upgrade data was not been kept up to date over the last 20+
years so I'm starting from scratch.
The paperwork I do have shows an upgrade to v5.2 firmware but no date.
It mentions 2 IC's were installed. One I'm sure was a new EPROM and the
other mentions a battery backed up clock chip if I read it right. Is it
possible the Y2K issue kicked in, or that the battery backup on the clock
chip has failed?
Everything I can find about the clock is how to add a RS talking Clock, not
much about the onboard option?
We will go to the site and document the current chipset on our rc-85 when
time permits. It can be sent out for repairs but we don't have a spare
controller so the machine would be down during that time, something we're
trying to avoid. I did get the feeling that this may be a warning sign that
the EPROM's may be failing and this is only the start. A newer replacement
may be the way to go as a last resort!
Thank you for any help you can give us.
Are there any groups dedicated to ACC Controllers?
