Turn off the power to the panel for several seconds until the
LCD goes out, and then turn the power back on to see if the
panel resets. In many instances this resolves the problem.
The first check is for 24VAC Power to the panel. When
there is power the LCD will be lit. If not check the
transformer and the power supply to it.

If a zone is not closing and there is an active HVAC call it
may be that there is an excessive amount of air being
bypassed into the zone. End all HVAC calls and using the
damper test button on the Main Controller you can check to
see if the dampers are properly cycling.

Satisfy all zone thermostats HVAC calls and check that the
main controller is no longer in purge. Each zone has a
damper test button on the main controller. When the zone
damper(s) are in the Open position and the damper’s green
LED is illuminated, press the damper test button and hold it
down, the dampers on this zone will cycle closed in a few
seconds and their damper LEDs will go out for a few seconds
and then turn Red when the dampers close. Release the
button and the dampers will cycle back open.
If the motor(s) fail to operate from the test button, the panel
RJ11 connections can be tested to determine if the problem
is from the panel. If there is power at the motor plug, the
problem may be a broken wire or poor connection in the
cord or the motor itself.
To check the power to the motor from the damper plug on
the panel, switch your meter to DC Volts. Note the wires on
the plug and check across either Positive and Negative
wires. Note that each plug has two positive leads and two
negative leads. Both positive and both negative leads are
wired together. The meter will read either Plus (+) or Minus
(-) 12VDC depending if the damper is to be Open or Closed
respectively.

When using multiple dampers on a single zone, please note
that up to 10 dampers may be used on a single zone.
Adding dampers beyond the recommended number may
cause all dampers to be slow to operate and may not fully
cycle between open and closed as well as possible failure
can occur.
