Troubleshooting the KF3

Chapter 5

53

Once you initiate active communication on the DF1 link, the RS-232
Activity LED will light up.  If this fails to happen, check your RS-232C
parameters (Table 3.B, Parameters 3-8).

If you are unable to save new configurations successfully, the left display
will display hardware fault 6, and the Fault LED on the front will light
up.  This indicates a malfunction in the module.  Contact your A-B
representative.
