CHECKOUT
& TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Be sure to check and verify all wiring before powering the QD2040c.
2. Apply power. The Power LED will turn on.
3. If the QD2040c has not been pre-programmed, it can be programmed at this time.
4. The unit is now ready for operation.
Power LED does not Light Up
Confirm that the 12power supply module included with the QD2040c is plugged into a powered outlet. This is a 12V, 7A,
tip positive power supply.
No Communications with Controllers on the Network
Make sure the baud rate selection for the QD2040c is set to match the baud rate of all the controllers on each port
network. All controllers on the network must have a unique address, excluding the reserved address ‘248’. Network wiring
should also be checked.

Troubleshooting
LED Description
Three LEDs on the QD2040 allow the occupant to view the current operating status of the QD2040c.
Power
This LED will be on when the QD2040c is properly powered.
LAN
Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector.
• Link LED (Green)
• Data Rate LED (Green/Yellow)
The LEDs indicate when the board is powered up and the LAN subsystem is operating. If Link Green is off then LAN link
is not established. If on, LAN link is established. If blinking LAN activity is occurring.
If Data Rate Green/Yellow is Off, 10 Mbits/s data rate is selected. Green means the 100 Mbits/s data rate is selected.
If yellow, 1000 Mbits/s data rate is selected. One light should blink intermittently and the other should remain on all the
time. The blinking light represents communications. The other solid light indicates a proper Ethernet connection.
RS-485 Ports (COM 1&2)
Each port has the proper biasing resistors as specified by the BACnet standard. Each port is also optically isolated, which
cleans up the signal and also protects the unit from taking stray voltage off the RS-485 Lines.
A set of LEDs allow the occupant to view operational status of the serial communication integrated board. Each port has
two LED’s to the right of the terminals:
GREEN – indicates transmitting (Tx)
YELLOW – indicates Receiving (Rx)
Additionally, a single red LED indicating the serial ports are operational, is located inside the enclosure behind the
terminals
