Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
Controller Power
LED/
Text Display OFF
No Power to Input. –
Measure input voltage (18 to 30 Vdc).
–
Check that P1 is fully inserted.
If voltage is present and P1 is fully inserted,
replace controller.
LON Fault – LED
lit.
LON wiring is shorted or open. –
Check that P7 is fully inserted.
–
Using the EQ Safety System Software,
determine the location of open or short via
LON Diagnostics screen.
–
Use a multimeter to determine wiring fault.
Trouble Relay is
Active.
Any monitored device in the
system including ground fault
in fault condition.
–
Using the front panel display/controls, view
all points in alarm/fault and identify faulted
device.
–
Repair or replace faulted device as
necessary.
Digital inputs
are not
responding.
–
Bad input switch.
–
Faulty input channel.
–
Faulty wiring.
–
Configuration error.
–
Check that P2 and P3 are fully inserted.
–
Using a voltmeter, measure input terminals
with contact closed to the input (measures 0
vdc when input contact is closed, measures
approximately 23 Vdc with circuit open and 24
vdc input at the controller).
–
If input does not respond to a contact closure,
replace module (verify response with EQ
Safety System Software/textual display).
–
Verify configuration.
Relay Outputs are
not respond to an
output command
–
Bad relay channel.
–
Faulty output wiring.
–
User logic.
–
Check that P4 and P5 are fully inserted.
–
When output should be energized, measure
contact resistance using an ohm meter.
–
Verify that wiring from output is not open.
–
Using EQ Safety System Software, verify that
logic is trying to operate the channel.
Serial links are not
responding.
–
Faulty wiring.
–
Incorrect serial link
configuration.
–
Text display shows "Invalid
Configuration"
–
Check that P8 and P9 are fully inserted.
–
Verify that communication LEDs are
flashing.
–
Verify that serial link configuration matches the
host device.
–
Verify that wiring is not open or shorted.
Ethernet link are
not responding
–
Faulty wiring.
–
Incorrect Ethernet link
configuration.
–
Text display shows "Invalid
Configuration"
–
Check that P3 and P4 are fully inserted.
–
Verify that communication LEDs are
flashing.
–
Verify that Ethernet link configuration is
correct.
–
Verify that wiring is not open or shorted.
Front panel
pushbuttons are
not working
–
Power OFF.
–
Controller is faulted.
–
Verify that power is present and P1 is fully
inserted.
–
Cycle power to controller.
Text dispaly
indicates a RTC
Fault
Power loss for more than 12
hours
–
Using the Safety System Software, execute
“Set RTC”, which downloads the current
time into the Controller’s real time clock.
Alternatively, use the “Set Time and Date”
menu in the Controller.
