Troubleshooting

Refreshing the LCD Screen

If the LCD screen has frozen, gone blank, or is
not responding, refresh the screen by reloading
the driver.
1. Locate the Universal Input 3 (U3) on the
DDC1 module.
2. Locate 0V directly to the right of U3.
3. Place a jumper wire from U3 to 0V for more
than one second.
4. The LCD should refresh and display the
initial Valent screen.
If the Valent screen does not appear, check the
LCD cord connection to both the controller and
the LCD screen to ensure a good connection.
Repeat the above steps. If the Valent screen still
does not appear, contact Valent Service.

Clearing a Station Error

If the UMT cannot connect to the controller, the
following error message is displayed:
If this message is displayed immediately after
clicking on the Connect button, the user name or
password may be incorrect. These fields are
case sensitive. Rekey the user name and
password carefully and attempt to reconnect.
If this message is displayed after the connection
status has progressed beyond 10%, the LAN
adapter settings may be incorrect. Check the
adapter settings for the correct configuration,
then attempt to reconnect. If adapter settings are
changed, restart the UMT before trying to
reconnect.
If the LAN adapter settings are correct but the
UMT still cannot communicate with the
Valent Controls IOM
controller, reboot the controller as described in
the next section, then attempt to reconnect. For
further help, contact Valent Service.

Rebooting the Controller

If the controller is not communicating with the
UMT, first check the LAN adapter settings. If the
settings are correct but the controller is still not
responding, the controller must be rebooted.
1. Disconnect power from the controller.
2. Wait four minutes for the controller to
completely de-energize. All lights must be
off.
3. Reconnect the power.
After rebooting the controller, if the UMT still
cannot communicate, contact Valent Service.
