Troubleshooting Overview

The following tools and switch control features are used to diagnose and correct problems.

LCD

The LCD on the switch control faceplate provides information about the present state of 
the switch control. For an explanation of the faceplate and the LCD, see 

The Faceplate

 in 

S&C Instruction Sheet 1041-540.

LEDs

The LEDs on the switch control modules and the faceplate provide information about the 
present state of the control. (For an explanation of the faceplate and the Power Supply/
Control I/O LEDs, see S&C Instruction Sheet 1041-540.)

The IntelliLINK software

The 

OPERATION

 screens and 

TROUBLESHOOTING

 screens display information about 

the switch control, switch control operations, and switch sensor data. For an explanation 
of these screens, see 

Using IntelliLINK Software to Locate Problems

 on page 15.

To view these screens, you need a portable IBM/PC-compatible computer, a serial 
cable, and the IntelliLINK version for this 5800 Series switch control. For more informa-
tion about the equipment required and how to use the IntelliLINK software, see S&C 
Instruction Sheet 1041-530.

Electrical Interconnect Diagrams

The electrical interconnect diagrams, in S&C Instruction Sheet 1041-530, show the switch 
control wiring layout.

Test Points

Most of the wiring in the switch control enclosure is terminated in insulation displacement 
connectors. To test a pin, gently slide the black plastic cap sideways on the connector 
until the pin is exposed. Test the pin, then replace the cap to protect the wiring from dust 
and to prevent shorts. Avoid inserting the test probe into the connector receptacle as this 
may damage the connector.
