Really my question was about operation, and what to expect.
I finally got a hold of someone at Equalizer systems today:
With the 1702 manual panel (was only used by Gulf Stream?), it uses a leg switch on each jack to tell the panel that the jacks are down. (you can see this in the pinout shown in ES documents)
with the 2086 manual panel, it uses a pressure switch that sends a signal to 1 input to tell the panel that the jacks are down. The online documentation does not show this difference.(document shows 1 leg switch for each jack).
Also when you first power on the 2086 panel (or turn on the engine key) the pump will run for a couple seconds to raise pressure to the switch so the panel knows if jacks are down or not.
Neither the 1702 or 2086 panel is available from ES.
If you have either panel and it goes bad, the only official path Equalizer systems has is to upgrade to the Auto level, for just under $1K.
Thanks for the help everyone.
