Chapter 4: Maintaining the PowerStation Resolving Problems
PA2 PowerStation User Guide 4-11
The LED Power indicator on the back of the unit does not light
1 Check to see whether the power switch is in the On position, and the
PA2 PowerStation is operating correctly.
a. If the PA2 PowerStation appears to be operating properly, the LED
indicator may be defective. Contact your Parker equipment
supplier or Parker Product Technical Support department for
assistance.
b. If the PA2 PowerStation does not appear to be operating properly,
restart the PowerStation.
2 Check the DC power line to determine whether the DC voltage is
either 12VDC or 24VDC. Note that only the PA206 model can operate
on 12VDC.
3 Check the power connector to determine whether the leads are
properly connected and not reversed. The positive line should
connect to the positive terminal, the negative lead should connect to
the negative terminal, and the ground lead should connect to the
ground terminal.
4 Check to see if you have a blown fuse. To replace the fuse, see
Replacing the Fuse on page 4-8.

1 Check for a loose CF card.
Restart the PA2 PowerStation.
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file and/or CONFIG.SYS file does not execute properly
Some startup problems are caused by a corrupted or modified
AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file. Parker includes backup copies of these
files in the \CTC directory on your PowerStation’s CompactFlash Disk.
These files are called AUTOEXEC.CTC and CONFIG.CTC.
For a complete listing of the AUTOEXEC.BAT and the CONFIG.SYS files, see
Appendix B.
If you suspect a problem with either the PA2 PowerStation’s
AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files, use the ROM-DOS Copy command to
create a backup copy of your current file and overwrite the suspect file with
the appropriate backup file. For example, if the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
becomes suspect, type the following commands at the ROM-DOS prompt:
copy autoexec.bat autoexec.old
copy \ctc\autoexec.ctc autoexec.bat
1 Press Exit on the MachineShop Shell menu.
2 Run ROM-DOS Edit by typing NED and then the file name that you
want to edit.
3 You may also use the Flashback Utility to reformat the CF card with
the default PA2 PowerStation files.
