6.4 Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEM
Controller won't allow
entry to SMART and/or no
antenna icon on display
Note: You can use the diagnostic LED on the SLW5 to determine the reason the controller will not let you enter SMART. To view the
diagnostic LED, look through the vent hole on the bottom of the SLW5 unit. Hold the Rain Spindle on the SLW5 unit . See section 4.2.5.
Observe the blinking LED. First Blink RED—The battery/s in the SLW should be replaced. Second or Third Blink RED—The SLW is defective
and should be replaced. Fourth Blink Red—Communication problem is in the cable or SLHUB or RF signal problem on wireless units. If all
SLW diagnostic blinks are GREEN, all SLW functions and communications between the SLW and SLHUB are working properly. Recheck
data entry required into controller.
