Troubleshooting

1.

You turn on the device plugged into Trigger "A" or "B" and

nothing happens.

You have not completed "on" programming for each
controlled outlet. Go to page 12 and follow the step-by-
step instructions.

2.

You are in the middle of programming your IPC-6 and you

see a display of E1.

Press and hold the 

PROGRAM

button for one second. This

returns you to normal operating mode. Now, repeat the
programming you last attempted.

3.

The wrong devices are turning on with the trigger device.

Check which sensing outlet the trigger device is plugged
into and recheck your programming.

Check the outlet's programmed trigger source.
