7 Troubleshooting 

 

7.1 Solving Common Problems 

 

The following troubleshooting section was designed to help you solve technical problems.   

 

Should the unit have to be returned for repair or if you need further assistance, please contact your reseller or 

FISO Customer Support directly. 

 

Symptom 

Possible Cause 

Possible Solution 

No power 

Main power 

Verify power input or try another power outlet. 

Power supply 

Verify the power supply connection. If possible, try 

another power supply (with the same polarity), or test the 

voltage of the power supply. If the power supply is faulty, 

call your power supply supplier. 

One or more units not 

detected on the network 

There may be 

duplicated unit 

identification # on 

the network. 

Verify each unit’s network ID and reconfigure the 

network addressing accordingly. 

 

The channel status LED turns red when there is something wrong with the channel.  

 

Symptom 

Possible Cause 

Possible Solution 

Channel LED is RED

 

 

Channel is enabled 

and but there is no 

sensor connected 

Verify that you have in fact connected the sensor into 

that specific channel. 

Dirty connector 

Using a fiber optic cleaner like the 

EasyClean

 provided 

with the unit, clean all connector ends of both the sensor 

and the channel. 

No signal or low 

signal from sensor 

A damaged sensor will not return sufficient signal for the 

system to measure temperature.  Investigate the fiber 

optic patch cord as a possible source of break.  

Channel LED is blank 

 

Your channel is not 

enabled 

Using Nortech Client II software, you can enable that 

channel. 

System LED is RED 

 

There is a problem 

with at least 1 

channel or the 

system itself 

Verify that all Channel’s LED are green.  If one is red, 

there verify that channel’s sensor.  If all green, then 

further investigation is necessary using the Nortech 

Client II software to find out error codes if any.  You 

may have to contact your reseller or FISO customer 

support to help.
