ROUBLESHOOTING

You can use this Troubleshooting Guide to help detect and correct issues that you may 
encounter.

Table 32: Troubleshooting ECL Device Symptoms 

Symptom

Possible Cause

Solution

Device does not com-
municate on the L

ON

-

W

ORKS

 MS/TP 

network

The device does not 
have power / poor-
quality power.

See 

Power Supply Requirements for 24V Controllers

 on page 61.

Cut or broken wire.

Isolate the location of the break and pull a new cable.

The maximum num-
ber of devices on a 
data bus segment has 
been exceeded.

Use a repeater to extend the BACnet data bus. See 

Network Cables

 on page 55.

Absent or incorrect 
supply voltage

1. Check if the device is showing the 'Poor Power Quality' status code (for 24V 
controllers). See 

Table 35

 for a list of fault codes.

2. Check power supply voltage between 24VAC/DC ±15% and 24V COM pins 
and ensure that it is within acceptable limits (for 24V controllers).
3. Check for tripped fuse or circuit breaker.

Overloaded power 
transformer (for 24V 
controllers)

1. Check if the device is showing the 'Poor Power Quality' status code. See 

Table 

35

 for a list of fault codes.

2. Verify that the transformer used is powerful enough to supply all controllers. 
See 

Transformer Selection and Determining the Maximum Power Run Length

 on 

page 61.

Network not wired 
properly

Double check that the wire connections are correct.

Absent or incorrect 
network termination

Check the network termination(s).

Too many Allure EC-
Smart-Vue sensors 
are providing network 
access

Disable the Net to Subnet Port Settings jumpers on all controllers. If communica-
tions are re-established, re-enable only a few Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensors to 
have network access.

The STATUS LED is 
blinking

The device has auto-
diagnosed a fault con-
dition

See 

Table 33

 for a list of fault codes.

Controller is powered 
but does not turn on

Fuse has blown (for 
24V controllers)

Disconnect the power. Check the fuse integrity. Reconnect the power.
