 Any recent work done on the site that could have damaged the buried wire?
• If there is no apparent damage to the two-wire, start disconnecting devices, one at a time, from the shorted

• After the short has been diagnosed as either damage to the wire or a faulty device, repair or replace it.
• Reconnect components on the repaired two-wire segment. Verify that that adding these components does not
cause additional failures.
• Connect other two-wire segments, verifying correct operation as each is connected.

errors.
• Is there just one communication error or is there a group of them?
 If there is more than one, are they all on the same wire? The same physical area?
 If this is the case, check the connections and wiring in that area of the two-wire.
• Repeat as necessary
