Section 2: Operations When the Tester stops testing, User Checks are needed to complete Testing using the up/down keys. The User must compare the device count found to actual number of devices present, and the Add. Sum to the Engineering Check Sum provided for the installation being tested.
Section 3: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting - Failure Messages 3.1 – 24VAC Found 1. Unplug the connector from the Tester verify that the 24VAC power connection and Data bus connections are not swapped. 2. Use a Multimeter and check for 24VAC between the +D line and –D line connection, then between the +D and REF, and between the –D and the REF.
Section 3: Troubleshooting Table 3 – Voltage Pass Limits. Voltage Lower Upper Parameter D=Data Bus Pass Limit Limit 2.45V 3.00V +D to REF 1.90V 2.54 -D to REF Bias = +0.38 +0.92 +D to -D +D is Data bus plus (with N2 bus = N2+) MSTP future -D is Data bus minus (with N2 bus = N2-) Voltage Fail Checks 1.
Section 3: Troubleshooting Example Voltage Fail Profiles Possible Voltage Fail Examples if one unit on the bus is misconnected compared to all the others and the REF on all units also connects to a non-isolated Common/Ground. Table 4 - Profiles Voltage Fail Example Example...
Section 3: Troubleshooting 3.4 Troubleshooting Missing or Bad Devices 1. When the device code for one address indicates BAD, check the list of addresses found to determine what other address is missing. Two units may be set for the same address. 2.
