2.1.8 Troubleshooting 
2.1.8.1 Hardware Faults 
Hardware faults 
A software communication fault 
alarm is reported, and some or 
all units' running state is not 
displayed or cannot be 
controlled.   
The communications lines are 
not twisted pairs.   
Replace the communication 
lines with twisted pairs.   
Replace the damaged gateway.   
Communication lines interrupt.   
Weld the interrupted lines.   
Communication lines are short 
circuited.   
Repair the short circuited part.   
Twisted pairs are too close to the 
power lines (less than 15 cm 
clearance), resulting in 
disturbance that affects 
communication.   
Separate the two types of lines. 
If their clearance is less than 15 
cm, cover them with sheath 
separately.   
Communication interface 
connection error 
Refer to related instructions to 
connect the communication 
interfaces.   
Though lines are normal,   
a software communication fault 
occurs and some or all units' 
information is not displayed.   
ODUs, after being replaced with 
chips or reset with DIP, are not 
re-powered on.   
The serial port configured by the 
software is inconsistent with that 
connected to PCs.   
Connect the PCs to the serial port 
configured by the software or 
change the serial port setting in 
the software.  
Units are not powered on.   
ODUs or IDUs are not equipped 
with chips, or chips are inversely 
installed.   
Install the chips in a correct 
direction and power on the units.   
Unit address is incorrect or 
replicate.   
Correct the incorrect address 
settings.   
Though lines and devices are 
normal, information of devices 
of a floor is not displayed.   
Maybe a repeater is required. If 
such a device has been 
installed, maybe wiring is 
incorrect.   
Reinstall the repeater in a 
correct manner.   
A communication fault alarm is 
reported, all units' running state 
is not displayed,   
and the TX LED on the 
converter is steadily on.   
Polarities of communication lines 
are not distinguished or they are 
connected in a wrong order.   
Check communication lines for 
their polarities and connect them 
in a correct order.   
Lines, devices, and setups are 
all normal. However, a software 
communication fault alarm is 
reported.   
The display or controller does 
not match units.   
Check the models of the 
controller and operation panel. If 
they do not match unit 
specification, replace them.
