Corrective and Diagnostic Procedures
The following sections detail procedures you may use to diagnose and correct problems with the
controller.
Low Power
If the controller displays
Low power
or the display is not lit:
1. Turn the power to the controller off, then on again.
2. If the
Low power
alarm message returns, check that the power supplied to the controller is
at least 12.0VDC at 1 A. See Wiring the Power Supply on page 28.
3. If power is correct and the alarm message persists, make a record of all controller settings.
Then, clear the RAM. See Clearing the RAM on page 145.
4. If the alarm is not cleared, contact your supplier for further troubleshooting guidance. See
Return Material Authorization (RMA) on page 3.
Battery Dead
The Battery dead alarm indicates that the battery is not functioning correctly. This alarm occurs upon
power-up only. The alarm indicates that values stored in memory may have been corrupted because
of battery failure and should be restored to factory defaults.
If the Battery Dead alarm occurs, the controller displays an alarm message and the global alarm
output turns on. Acknowledging the alarm restores all settings to factory defaults and turns off the
global alarm output.
CAUTION!
Acknowledging this alarm restores all settings to factory defaults.
