  To clear the memory and restore factory defaults on your Nortek Control System, press and hold switch S1 for a full 20 seconds on the middle board, near the bank of 16 LEDs. Alternatively, you can reboot and factory default the system using the GUI software. Note that performing a factory default will erase all configuration information, including the license key. To retrieve the license key, visit www.e3upgrade.com and enter the MAC address of the controller, which is printed on the product.

  If there's no network communication with the control panel: * Check the network cabling if the LAN LEDs are off or solid, as this indicates no physical network connection. * Verify the Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS, and IP address as provided by your network administrator.

What to do if Nortek Linear eMerge e3 Control Systems panel powers up but does not respond to card readers or inputs?

  If the Nortek control panel powers up but isn't responding to card readers or inputs: * First, measure the power at the reader connectors. If there's no voltage, the reader fuse may be blown. * If power is present, try connecting the reader and/or input directly at the panel. If it works there, the wire run may be faulty.

  If the control panel does not power up: * Check the setting of JP1 on the middle board (near the input power connector) to ensure the jumper is in the correct position for your power source. * Measure the input power for +12VDC. * If the red LEDs are off, the input fuse may be blown. Note that this fuse is not field-replaceable.
