NOTE: When using ACom Diagnostics for the fi rst time, the
service technician will be asked to select the communication
adapter for both the Wingman Advanced and Bendix
®
EC-60

controllers. While both controllers will use the
same physical adapter, the technician will need to indicate
which communication protocol to use for each. Once a
successful connection has been made, these steps will
no longer be necessary.
