Troubleshooting

Alarm Issues

Alarm, (False) Fan Fail

• Check configuration. Be sure the Fan Status
option is not selected when there is no sensor/
switch for it.
• Check that the IN2 (fan status) input pull-up
resistor switches are fully latched in the correct
positions. Any passive, dry contact should use
the 10K Ohm setting. (See the Connections and
Wiring section of the relevant FlexStat Installa-
tion Guide.)
• Check IN2 (fan status) input wiring.
• Check the connected fan status sensor/switch.
• Using BACstage or TotalControl, check that AI2
(fan status) is not configured as "Out Of Service."

Alarm, (False) Low Limit (Freeze Stat)

Check the Low Limit Alarm setting—see Damper
Setup on page
7.
• Check configuration. Be sure the Economizer
option is not selected when there is no mixed air
temperature sensor.
• Check that the IN3 (mixed air temp.) input
pull-up resistor switches are fully latched in the
correct positions (see the Connections and Wir-
ing section of the relevant FlexStat Installation
Guide).
• Check IN3 (mixed air temperature) input wiring.
• Check the connected mixed air temperature sensor.
• Using BACstage or TotalControl, check that AI3
(mixed air temp.) is not configured as "Out Of
Service."
NOTE: After a low limit alarm is generated, the
fan will not run until after the FlexStat is
restarted. (See Resetting the FlexStat on
page
24.)

Alarm, (False) Space Temp. or Humidity

• Using TotalControl, adjust the limits or time
delay.

Communication Issues

NOTE: For a "COMM ERROR" on the display, see
(Advanced) CO2 Sensor (and DCV) on page

Ethernet/IP Network Communication Issues

Check communication settings—see (Advanced)
Communications (BACnet) on page

KMD-5576 (Data Port) Communication Issues

• For Ethernet-enabled models, a FlexStat in one of
the Ethernet or IP modes must (temporarily) be
set for MS/TP mode (and restarted) to commu-
nicate through the data port at the bottom of the
cover. See (Advanced) Communications (BACnet)
on page 14 and Resetting the FlexStat on page
• Upgrade to the latest version of BACstage (ver.
2.4.0.25 or later required).
• Check the settings for the USB port on the
computer (Device Manager > Ports) and the
MS/TP port in BACstage (Access > Connection
Parameters).
• Reduce the Max Master number down to the
minimum needed for that network—see (Ad-
vanced) Communications (BACnet) on page
• Install latest driver and check latency settings.
See Latency Settings for KMD-5576 Service Bul-
letin (SB0308A) on the KMC web site.
See also MS/TP Network Communication
below.

MS/TP Network Communication Issues

NOTE: In firmware R2.0.0.6 and later, Configure
must first be selected before any values
can be changed.
• Check MAC address and device instance num-
bers (especially for duplicate numbers on the
network)—see (Advanced) Communications
(BACnet) on page 14 and (Advanced) BACnet
Device Properties on page
• Check that EOL switches are fully latched in the
correct positions (see the relevant FlexStat Instal-
31.
lation Guide).
Check baud rate—see (Advanced) Communica-
tions (BACnet) on page
• Reduce the Max Master number down to the
minimum needed for that network—see (Ad-
vanced) Communications (BACnet) on page
