      How to Replace a ClareOne Panel in FusionPro

      This outline will guide you through replacing a ClareOne Panel on an Account using FusionPro. During this process, you will be prompted to create a backup of the existing ClareOne Panel configuration, as well as any LTE and Central Station configurations. Please make sure you read and understand the important notes listed below.

      NOTE: Devices that require additional account linking such as Ecobee thermostats, etc., will require you to re-link the account to the new ClareOne Panel separately.

      NOTE: Make sure the ClareOne Panel you want to swap to is online and updated to the latest firmware. You cannot restore a backed-up project to a new ClareOne Panel unless it has been updated.

      CAUTION: Do not disconnect or power down the ClareOne Panel until prompted to by the Replace Controller Wizard.

      How To:

        1. Open the Account where you would like to replace the ClareOne Panel.
        2. Navigate to the Maintenance tab.

        5. Backup Panel (Optional): If you would like to restore the ClareOne Panel configuration to a new Panel, you can create a backup of the panel configuration when prompted by the Wizard. Items that are backed up during a backup stage include:

          • User-created Actions
          • All ClareOne configured settings
