First In Chain Repeater Troubleshooting
The TX and "STAT" LEDs display two error codes corresponding to first in chain repeater
communication problems when the repeater is in Test Mode. The "STAT" LED flashes
numbered error codes in red or yellow. After the error code is displayed by the "STAT" LED,
the "TX" LED may flash the corresponding transmitter ID associated with the error. Also, it is
possible for a repeater to display more than one error at a time. The two error codes
corresponding to first in chain communication errors are:
• Error 3 - Can occur if a repeater intended to be first in chain does not have the first in chain
feature enabled. Because the repeater does not know it is supposed to be first in chain, the
repeater looks for a previous repeater in the chain. Move the two-pin jumper to the bottom
two-pins on the first in chain header and retest communication.
• Error 4 - Can occur if a repeater (with ID other than A) is intended to be part of a single
chain of repeaters and is set to be first in chain, or if an intended first in chain repeater
doesn’t have any Transmitter IDs selected. If you have a single chain topology, make sure
the first in chain jumper is in the default position and retest communication. If you have a
multiple chain topology, make sure a Transmitter ID has been selected on the first in chain
repeater and retest communication.
Note: Please review all communication issues alongside those regarding first in chain repeaters. See
“Maintenance and Troubleshooting” on page 34 for more information.
