Troubleshooting
Alarm Issues
Alarm, (False) Fan Fail
• Check configuration. Be sure the Fan Status
option is not selected when there is no sensor/
switch for it.
• Check that the IN2 (fan status) input pull-up
resistor switches are fully latched in the correct
positions. Any passive, dry contact should use
the 10K Ohm setting. (See the Connections and
Wiring section of the relevant FlexStat Installa-
tion Guide.)
• Check IN2 (fan status) input wiring.
• Check the connected fan status sensor/switch.
• Using BACstage or TotalControl, check that AI2
(fan status) is not configured as “Out Of Service.”
Alarm, (False) Low Limit (Freeze Stat)
• Check the Low Limit Alarm setting—see
Damper
Setup on page 7
.
• Check configuration. Be sure the Economizer
option is not selected when there is no mixed air
temperature sensor.
• Check that the IN3 (mixed air temp.) input
pull-up resistor switches are fully latched in the
correct positions (see the Connections and Wir-
ing section of the relevant FlexStat Installation
Guide).
• Check IN3 (mixed air temperature) input wiring.
• Check the connected mixed air temperature sensor.
• Using BACstage or TotalControl, check that AI3
(mixed air temp.) is not configured as “Out Of
Service.”
NOTE: After a low limit alarm is generated, the
fan will not run until after the FlexStat is
restarted.

Resetting the FlexStat on
page 24
.)
Alarm, (False) Space Temp. or Humidity
• See
Alarms on page 21
.
• See
Temperature Reading Is Incorrect on page 31
.
• See
Temperature Setpoint Is Not Maintained on
page 31
.
• Using TotalControl, adjust the limits or time
delay.
Communication Issues
NOTE: For a “COMM ERROR” on the display, see
(Advanced) CO2 Sensor (and DCV) on page 10
.
Ethernet/IP Network Communication Issues
• Check communication settings—see
(Advanced)
Communications (BACnet) on page 14
KMD-5576 (Data Port) Communication Issues
• For Ethernet-enabled models, a FlexStat in one of
the Ethernet or IP modes must (temporarily) be
set for MS/TP mode (and restarted) to commu-
nicate through the data port at the bottom of the
cover. See
(Advanced) Communications (BACnet)
on page 14
and
Resetting the FlexStat on page 24
.
• Upgrade to the latest version of BACstage (ver.
2.4.0.25 or later required).
• Check the settings for the USB port on the
computer (Device Manager > Ports) and the
MS/TP port in BACstage (Access > Connection
Parameters).
• Reduce the Max Master number down to the
minimum needed for that network—see
(Ad-
vanced) Communications (BACnet) on page 14
.
• Install latest driver and check latency settings.
See Latency Settings for KMD-5576 Service Bul-
letin (SB0308A) on the KMC web site.

MS/TP Network Communication Issues
NOTE: In firmware R2.0.0.6 and later, Configure
must first be selected before any values
can be changed.
• Check MAC address and device instance num-
bers (especially for duplicate numbers on the
network)—see
(Advanced) Communications
(BACnet) on page 14
and
(Advanced) BACnet
Device Properties on page 16
.
• Check that EOL switches are fully latched in the
correct positions (see the relevant FlexStat Instal-
lation Guide).
• Check baud rate—see
(Advanced) Communica-
tions (BACnet) on page 14
.
• Reduce the Max Master number down to the
minimum needed for that network—see
(Ad-
vanced) Communications (BACnet) on page 14
.
