Battery State Warning 
 
Note that Battery State is
 
also indicated on the C300
 
Controller block Main tab. 
Indicates that battery voltage for
 
controller RAM retention is not within
 
specified limits.  Controller state may
 
not be maintained through a power
 
down. This would prevent warm start
 
and may require the user to reload
 
control strategies when power is
 
restored. 
On the C300 block Main tab: 
 
 
If Battery Status =
 
UNDERVOLTAGE, then
 
replace battery. 
 
 
If Battery Status =
 
OVERVOLTAGE, make sure
 
that the battery used is of type
 
specified by Honeywell. 
Device Index Switches 
Changed 
The Device Index switch changed
 
while the C300 Controller was
 
operating. 
 
This condition would place the
 
controller at a different and
 
unexpected IP Address following a
 
subsequent controller restart. 
Verify if the Device Index switch
 
setting is correct, reset if
 
necessary. Refer to the section
  
Reset Device Index and IP
 
address of a controller for the
 
detailed procedure. 
 
If failure still persists, the IOTA
 
may be defective.  Replace the
 
IOTA. 
 
CHECK 
 
Reset/reboot will cause module to
 
assume new/incorrect address. If
 
visibly correct, rotate each of them
 
360deg. If this corrects problem,
 
replace IOTA. Otherwise replace
 
module then IOTA. 
The Factory Data block corrupted
 
which may cause failure of Boot
 
Image download or Application Image
 
download during a subsequent
 
controller restart. 
Replace the controller module and
 
return faulty module to the factory. 
ROM Application Image 
Checksum Failure 
The controller Application Image is
 
corrupted which may cause a failure
 
on a subsequent controller restart. 
Re-load the C300 Controller
 
Application image.  Refer to the
 
section Upgrading C300 Controller
 
Firmwar e for the detailed
 
procedure. 
 
If failure still persists, replace the
 
controller module and return faulty
 
module to the factory. 
The C300 Controller Boot Image is
 
corrupted which may cause a failure
