NOTE:- Fault finding can be assisted greatly by utilising the Diagnostic feature
available from the PC Interface. This will display the module state, any alarm conditions
present and the state of all inputs and outputs. It is recommended that diagnostics are
used to aid fault finding where-ever possible.
