10 MAINTENANCE
The FCS requires no assembly and virtually no maintenance. It is important to ensure that
water and/or dust is not somehow entering the enclosure and physically damaging the
circuit board or internal components.
11 TROUBLESHOOTING
FCS won’t power up.
Is the power properly connected? Check the connections. Refer to Section 6.6 Wiring Power
Supply Connections for more information.
Number won’t change when using the numeric keypad.
Press the C to clear the current value , or use the the << to delete by one digit at a time and

On the home screen display, one of the channels shows a C at the end of the line,
indicating the FCS cannot communicate with the transmitter assigned to that channel.
• Check to make sure the Com Type ANALOG or DIGITAL is correctly set for the type of
transmitter (analog or digital) assigned to that channel. Refer to Channel Settings and
Congurations in the FCS Operation Manual.
• Check that local area network wiring is correct, especially the A and B lines to make sure
they are not swapped between devices on the network.
• Check that the remote device is working properly itself.
RDM constantly shows “Connection Lost”. Check that the # of RDMs is set correctly. Refer
to Section 8.4 Congure RDM Remote Display(s) for more information.
Changes made to the RDM standard or selected channels display and priority
congurations are not working as expected. After a change in conguration, it is
recommended to do a restart of the FCS. Push and hold the button on the FCS circuit board
until the buzzer chirps (approximately a count of 12), let go and the FCS will do a restart.
NOTE: Restarting the FCS only resets the FCS, the transmitters and peripherals are not
affected.
For more information on the operation of the FCS, please refer to the FCS Operation
Manual that is available on our website.
