What to do if no indicator lights up when feeding the GE F650 Controller unit?
- B
  Brandy HuangAug 2, 2025
  If no indicator lights up when feeding power to the GE Controller unit, there might be several reasons: * **Insufficient power supply:** Verify the voltage level at the power supply terminals with a multimeter to ensure it's within the model's specified range. * **Wrong versions:** Ensure that the relay and ENERVISTA 650 Setup versions are the same. * **Fuse failure:** Remove the power supply, dismount the power supply module, and replace the fuse. * **Loose fuse:** Perform the same steps as for a fuse failure, ensuring the fuse is correctly seated. * **Incorrect wiring:** Double-check that the terminals labeled + and – are correctly connected to the corresponding power source on the 9-pin connector.

How to troubleshoot RS232 port communication issues on a GE F650?
- C
  Christine SmithAug 22, 2025
  If the GE Controller relay is not communicating via the front RS232 port, consider the following: * **Incorrect cable:** Ensure you are using a straight cable. * **Damaged cable:** Replace the cable. * **Relay or PC not grounded:** Ensure a ground connection is present. * **Incorrect baudrate, port, address, etc.:** Test other ports and baudrates. Verify that the communication parameters on the computer match those of the relay.
