Test multiple devices or entire site

Generally, multiple problems are a sign of problems in the wiring, either 

from bad  splices, pinched or nicked wires, radio frequency interference, 

water in the  conduit, or incorrect wire type. To check the entire site for 

problems, use the following procedure:

Allow for access and egress of customers and open all device 

1. 

housings.
Unplug the 

2.  

power and data terminal blocks on every  AI device on 

the site.
Once every device on the site is unplugged, add one device at a 

3. 

time back into the system. 
Allow the device to function for an hour and then add in the next 

4. 

device in line. 

 

Eventually, a device will be added that causes the problem to 

manifest. Switch this device with one that has been previously 

added to verify if the problem exists in the location or in the device. 
If the problem stays in the same location, it is probably a wiring 

5. 

issue. Contact a service company to check the wiring.
