Section 6. Troubleshooting
6.1 AquaPalm Quick Troubleshooting Guide
The AquaLink RS AquaPalm will stop communicating
anytime interference (such as a 900 MHz device)
prevents a valid signal transmission. When
communication is lost the AquaPalm Handheld
Remote will lock on the startup screen until a
good link is again achieved, usually within a few
seconds. If communication is not reestablished
within a few seconds or if this happens often, use the
troubleshooting information in the following table
for suggestions.
Symptom Problem Possible Solution
Power Center override switches
operate when in Service or Time
Out Mode, but the AquaPalm
Handheld Remote is completely
dead (no backlight on or display).
Dead batteries in the AquaPalm
Handheld Remote.
Replace batteries.

switches at the power center
operate as they should.
AquaPalm is not communicating
with the power center PCB.
Check the two center wires (black & yellow) of the
four conductor cable to the transceiver
J-box. Also check the installation of the PPD on
the power center PCB. If the PPD is not seated
correctly the system will not communicate.
