Troubleshooting
Note: After any serious fault, follow the Setting up instructions
given on page 4.
If the system fails to operate, please follow these basic steps:
1
Ensure that both base units have been switched on using
their
RESET
buttons on the front panels.
2
Ensure that the battery power meter on each base unit shows
green or yellow. If not, the batteries of the unit will require
charging before the system will operate.
3
If both the base units are not working, the problem may be
with the remote control. Change the remote control batteries.
4
If the units still do not function the problem may be within the
remote control handset. This is a sealed unit and contains no
user serviceable parts. Contact Pike Signals.
5
Check that the STOP board is facing in the direction of the
direction arrow label. If not, manually rotate the sign to the
STOP position, then press the
RESET
button.
Caution: If the sign rotates, it will do so with force.
If the board does not rotate it may be a problem with the
RESET
switch. This can be checked visually by removing the
four screws of the base unit cover and carefully removing
it. Inspect the back of the
RESET
switch and ensure that the
two wires are securely connected to it.
• For information on spares or repair, contact Pike Signals.
• If there is no problem with the
RESET
switch, the problem
must be within the sealed electronics housing. This
contains no user serviceable parts, contact Pike Signals.
6
Check that all antennas are fitted and not damaged.
7
Check the remote control indicators
Ü
To reset the system
1
Switch the remote control off and then on using the
ON/OFF
button.
2
Wait for remote control to display permanent green and red
indicators.
3
Reset one of the base units: Press its front panel
RESET
button.
Note: If the original problem was a forced sign, when you
press the
RESET
button the sign may rotate; if so, once the
sign stops, repress the
RESET
button.

Repeat step
3
for the other base unit.
