Why does Magnetek Receiver respond to the transmitter intermittently?
- T
  terrypaulAug 9, 2025
  If your Magnetek receiver responds intermittently, it could be due to a few reasons. The transmitter and receiver might be at the edge of the transmission range, so try moving them closer. Also, ensure the receiver antenna is within sight of the equipment operator. Inspect the antenna and cable for any damage and ensure proper installation, placing the antenna where it's visible to the operator.

  If your Magnetek Receiver won't turn on and the +5VDC CPU/RELAY LEDs aren't lit, check these: * Ensure the input voltage is within the acceptable range for the installed power supply module. * If it is a Rev 2 module, replace the internal fuse. If it blows again, further troubleshooting is needed, or contact the factory. * If there's an internal power supply problem on the PCB, contact the factory for repair.

What to do if drive connected to Magnetek Serial Communication Card does not respond?
- K
  Kimberly DuranAug 22, 2025
  If the drive connected to the Magnetek Serial Communication Card isn't responding and LED #6 is lit, it means the module is wired in test mode. Ensure the wiring of the drive(s) to the Serial communication card is correct.

Why are Magnetek Receiver relay contacts opposite from what is expected?
- J
  John TaylorAug 27, 2025
  If the Magnetek Receiver relay contacts are behaving opposite to what you expect, it's because the contact state is selectable for relays K1 and K2. Ensure the jumpers for relays K1 and K2 are installed in the desired positions, as this setting determines whether the active state has contacts open or closed.
