Trouble Shooting Chart
Use the following chart to determine if your problem can be corrected in the field. If you have a problem that cannot be
fixed in the field:
•
Call the toll free Baseline Customer Service number (866) 294-5847 and
•
You must obtain a Return Material Authorization RMA # prior to sending any unit in for repair.
Fault Indication Correction
A squawk from the transmitter
•
An improper key sequence has been entered and confused microprocessor. Press "0" then "Valve Off"
and then continue with a proper key sequence.
Rapid beeps from the transmitter or not sound.
•
An audible rapid sequence of beeps after transmission indicates low battery power. Change the battery.
(Must be alkaline!)
Receiver "Power On" indicator does not come on.
•
Check the 24VAC pins on the controller connector with a volt meter to ensure that power is available.
•
If not, thoroughly check out the wiring.
•
Check the circuit breaker at your controller.
Controller's circuit breaker fails.
•
Check your controller manual for its power output capacity. If the transformer voltage output exceeds
28VAC permanent damage may occur.
Receiver fails to respond, but the power light is on.
•
Check if the Receiver number was inadvertently changed. Reprogram the Transmitter codes to match the
Receiver codes. (Press "1", "REC #")
•
Check the Group Code and Receiver Code dipswitches on the Receiver. Reprogram the Transmitter to
match the Receiver codes. (See page 13).
Receiver’s “Valve On” indicator lights during initial test, but no valve or wrong valve comes on.
•
Use an ohmmeter to check that your connector's wire assignment matches your controller's valve
assignment.
Receiver turns off when one station is activated.
•
Check solenoid. Current drain is more than 3 amps and is tripping the resetting fuse.
Short Range
•
Ensure that the antennas are firmly attached to the Receiver and Transmitter.
•
Ensure that the antenna is clear from obstructions. The three feet immediately surrounding the antenna
are the most crucial and should be kept clear of obstructions, power lines, or electrical conduits, electric
motors etc.
•
Keep the antenna as high as possible on the controller and avoid situations where the antenna can be
shadowed by buildings or large metal structures.
•
Ensure that the Receiver's antenna is as far away from electric motors, V.F.D.'s and overhead power
lines as this type of equipment causes interference.
