Formatting the control
module
If you cannot communicate with a control module after downloading memory
to it, as a last resort, you can manually format the control module to erase its
memory.
1 Pull the screw terminal connector from the control module's power
terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac. Make sure the address switches are
not set to 0, 0.
2 Short the Format jumper’s pins.
3 Insert the power screw terminal connector into the ZN551's power
terminals.
4 Continue to short the jumper until the Error LED flashes three times in
sync with the Run LED.
5 Remove the short.
6 Download memory to the ZN551.
