TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
No LEDs are lit. 1. Check for proper battery supply at J1 pins 3 and 4.
J1 pin 3 should be + Battery (12 or 24 volts).
J1 pin 4 should be Battery.
Refer to the power supply requirements section at the
beginning of the manual for cable specifications.
2. Check the 1 Amp panel fuse, replace if necessary.

The Communication OK 1. Does the RS485 communications cable meet specifications.

LED is flashing at the rate: Refer to the Communication with D/E panel section at the
one sec on/one sec off beginning of the manual.
2. Check that the RS485 connections are connected properly.
RS485+ connected to J1 pin 1.
RS485 connected to J1 pin 2.
Shield is connected correctly. Refer to the wiring schematic-
for your particular model located in this manual. Note the

be set for RS485 communications. The E Panel must be
power cycled after the switch is set. This can be done by
removing/replacing the front panel fuse.
5. Check for proper installation of the RS485 cable between the
annunciator and the generators control panel. Is this cable
sharing a conduit or running next to any high voltage or other
noisy electrical lines?
