Troubleshooting Procedures
The following table presents symptoms and solutions for problems potentially encountered when
installing the 3170 RCD.
Symptom
Solutions
The display does not
have power.
•
Ensure the RS232 connector is plugged into a COM port providing
+5VDC on pin 9. On the 3170 Workstation in a standard
configuration, COM2, COM3 and COM4 can provide power to the
RCD.
Meaningless characters
appear on the pole
display when I run my
application.
•
For RS232 Devices, check the baud-rate settings for the application
to ensure that they match the settings for the pole display.
Note:
Please call UTC RETAIL Technical Support at 800.349.0546, if you have any problems
