Powering Up the System for the First Time
After the system is configured, the system may be powered up. If the system uses multiple Transponders it is
easier and more effective to power up the Transponders one at a time. By doing this troubleshooting time can be
significantly reduced, especially if there is a wiring problem in the SE485 bus between Transponders.
NOTE: It is very important that twisted pair wiring is used for the SE485 bus. The Tx+ and Tx- wires must be
twisted together and the Rx+ and Rx- wires must be twisted together.

there is a wiring problem between the Central Console and the Transponder (refer to Section 0,
Troubleshooting Reference, of this manual and locate the problem).
3.
Check the Stress Test box. This tests the communications reliability by causing the Central Console
software to send a continuous stream of messages to the selected Transponder. The values in the
Successful Incoming Messages and Total Outgoing Messages fields should start counting up rapidly,
with few if any errors. It is normal to have slightly fewer Total Outgoing Messages than Successful
