Change out the AF Cards (if present)
If your rack supports Advanced Features (AF) 
you may need to replace the AF cards as well. 
CEM3 only supports use of the newer-style AF 
cards which have eight address witches (instead 
of four) as well as two LEDs (shown at right). If 
your cards do not have these features, you must 
order new cards for your retrofit.
AF cards are located on the right side of the 
dimmer module slot between the copper neutral 
busses and the dimming circuitry cards.
To function with CEM3, AF cards must be the 
new type with two LEDs and eight switches.
To replace the AF cards:
Step 1: Remove the old AF cards by flipping 
the white retainer tab on the cards into the down position
Step 2: Pull the old cards out of the slots.
Step 3: Set the DIP switches on the new cards according to the chart below. Only the first 
two DIP switches are used.
Step 4: Slide the new AF cards completely into the vacant slots starting with card #1 in 
the top. The number of cards depends on rack size.
Step 5: Flip the white tab up to lock the new card in place.
