Corrective and Diagnostic Procedures
The following sections detail procedures you may use to diagnose and correct problems with the
controller.
Low Power
If the controller displays LOW POWER or the display is not lit:
1. Acknowledge the alarm.
2. If the error message remains, turn the power to the controller off, then on again.
3. If the error message returns, check that the power supplied to the controller is at least
12.0VDC @ 1A. See Wiring the Power Supply on page 29.
4. If the error message returns again, make a record of the settings. Then, perform a NO-key
reset. See NO-Key Reset on page 150.
5. If the error is not cleared, contact your supplier for further troubleshooting guidance. See
Return Material Authorization (RMA) on page 3.
Battery Dead
The dead battery alarm indicates that the CLS200 battery is not functioning correctly or has low
power or no power. If this alarm occurs, parameters have reset to the factory default settings.
NOTE! The controller will retain its settings when powered. The battery is required to
keep the settings in memory only when the controller is powered down.
