Maintenance/Troubleshooting - Configuration module problems

Cables that have not been supplied by Senstar
may have Pin 1 connected to Pin 8.
2. Do not use a cable longer than 2.5 m (8 ft.).
3. Be sure cable connectors are seated securely (snapped) in the socket on the
processor and Configuration module.
4. Be sure the sockets on the processor and Configuration module are not dirty,
contaminated or damaged.
The Intelli-FLEX II processor functions without the
Configuration module. A malfunction in the
Configuration module generally will not cause
the processor to malfunction. Do not confuse
improper Configuration module operation with
improper Intelli-FLEX II processor operation.
After the cable and connections have been eliminated as the cause of improper
operation, check the following items.
1. If only one display segment or LED does not light when it should, it is
defective, and the Configuration module requires service.
2. If more than one display segment or LED indicator is always on or off, there
may be a problem with the interface. Check for proper switch response. If
switch response appears OK, the interface is good. The problem is likely in
the Configuration module. If possible confirm by testing the Configuration
module with a known good processor.
3. If the Configuration module works fine with a known good processor, the
other processor should be suspect, but this is a rather rare occurrence.
Always confirm the Configuration module is defective by attaching to another
processor, if available, and by trying a new cable, before concluding the
Configuration module is defective.
