Troubleshooting Guide
We expect your tekmarNet system to operate trouble-free. If an error should occur, simply follow these steps:
1. Find: If a thermostat flashes
on the bottom of the screen, it is indicating a problem on the system.
2. Identify: Match what is showing on the thermostat screen with one of the Error Messages below.
3. Solve: Each Error Message has a Description. Use it to locate possible sources of the problem and reach a solution.
