Hi, I have 2 x scanreco RC400 remote units, i can program both controllers to work with either receiver, but i am unable to get either controller to work when in remote only (cable disconnected) both units function as they should when plugged in with the cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To troubleshoot the Scanreco RC400 G2B remote units to function in remote-only mode:

1. Ensure the Portable Control Unit is connected via cable and power is supplied.
2. Turn on the unit and check that the Power-LED remains lit during start-up.
3. The Power-LED should stay on until the last 5 beeps are heard. If the unit deactivates before this, it indicates an internal malfunction.
4. Verify correct connection of the standard cable kits:
- Left side: "Supply Cable Kit" for power supply and digital functions.
- Right side: "Valve Cable Kit" for analogue functions.

If the unit still does not function remotely, it may require inspection or replacement due to internal failure.
