How to fix no date or time on Honeywell SPM Flex Security Sensors?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors displays no date or time, the real-time battery may have expired. Replace the real-time battery.
Why my Honeywell Security Sensors SPM Flex will not connect properly or stay on mounting plate?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors SPM Flex will not connect properly or stay on the mounting plate, make sure the mounting plate is installed in the correct direction so that the mounting heads on the back of the SPM Flex can slot in and slide down to secure. Also, confirm the mounting screws have been installed on the back of the SPM Flex.
How to fix cannot get Modbus TCP data over network on Honeywell SPM Flex Security Sensors?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors cannot get Modbus TCP data over the network, confirm the network configuration for both the SPM Flex and the target device. Make sure the target device is on the same network/subnet. Also, confirm the SPM Flex IP address on Review/Network Summary.
Why my Honeywell SPM Flex detector does not communicate via USB?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors detector does not communicate via USB, check the cable connection.
What to do if Honeywell Security Sensors Chemcassette cartridge door will not latch closed?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors Chemcassette cartridge door will not latch closed, make sure the Chemcassette cartridge is fully seated, the USB stick is not interfering with the door, the door is fully seated on both sides (latches should hook under the tabs easily), and all four latches are properly secured.
How to fix no blue light on Honeywell Security Sensors?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors shows no blue light, this could be due to no power to the detector. Turn the circuit breaker on and check the power cable.
What to do if Honeywell SPM Flex Security Sensors Chemcassette gate won’t open?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors Chemcassette gate won’t open, use either the Change Chemcassette wizard or Maintenance / Open/Close gate. If that doesn’t work, the gate motor may be broken, and you may need to replace the gate motor.
What to do if my Honeywell SPM Flex Security Sensors cannot achieve target flow rate?
If you cannot achieve the target flow rate on your Honeywell Security Sensors, confirm the inlet and outlet tubes are free of restrictions or kinks, and that all filters are clean. Also, confirm the Chemcassette cartridge is fully seated, and exit and re-enter the monitor to pull a fresh part of the tape. Check the filters (internal and external) and replace them as needed. Finally, confirm all tubing connections are properly seated (internal and external). If the pump is old, consider replacing it.
Why Chemcassette cartridge will not install properly in my Honeywell Security Sensors?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors Chemcassette cartridge will not install properly, confirm that the red shipping tab has been removed from the payout spool. Also, use the Change Chemcassette wizard to open the gate and guide you through the process, and confirm you are logged in with an account with the appropriate security level to change the Chemcassette cartridge.
What to do if my Honeywell SPM Flex unit will not read Chemcassette?
If your Honeywell Security Sensors unit will not read the Chemcassette, the cause may be a defective RFID chip. In this case, replace the Chemcassette.
