Stagehand AC - AKA: The Classic

Long live the Classics

The Stagehand AC - The "Classic" - comes in three varieties:

  • A800

  • A700

  • Durapulse

Follow these instructions to factory restore a Classic with an A700 or A800 VFD, and these instructions for Durapulse Factory Restore.

Set parameter: 9.08 = 99.

Yup, that's it!

Restore Parameters on Stagehand AC Durapulse

MANUALLY SETTING PARAMETER VALUES

The table below shows the values for the Creative Conners stock parameters.

  1. Press PROGRAM once

  2. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to select each parameter to set

  3. Press the SET button and change the value with the up and down arrow

  4. Once to the correct value press ENTER

    • the display will flash VALUE ACCEPTED and then will show the new value

  5. Repeat the steps for each parameter

  6. Once completed, cycle the power on the drive

You may notice that some of the parameter values are NOT CHANGED from the stock values and that is OK. It is important to confirm these values are set correctly.
