Questions and Answers

  • A
    Amber CastilloAug 14, 2025
    Why is the voltage out of range on the Johnson Controls Gateway BAS Bus Terminal Block?
    • S
      Shelley NunezAug 14, 2025
      If the voltage is significantly outside the specified range when measuring the BAS Bus Terminal Block, it is possible that the transceiver or associated circuitry is damaged. Double-check that switch S2 (BAS EOL) is in the 'ON' position during measurement; otherwise, the voltage readings will be inaccurate.
  • V
