Issue: My PowerPanel display is blank
Solutions: Try to eliminate the problem in the following ways:
• Verify that you have the PowerPanel connected to the correct port on the MicroPower.
• Make sure that you have the correct firmware version installed in the MicroPower, as described in the Firmware Update section above.
• Verify that you have configured the PowerPanel to display something, by following the instructions in the “Configuring the PowerPanel with
the Application” section above.
• Confirm that the MicroPower LED is blinking. If it is not, power is not being applied to the MicroPower, or something is wrong with the
MicroPower. If the MicroPower’s LED starts to blink after the PowerPanel is removed, verify you have plugged it into the right port.
• Check to make sure the PowerPanel cable is not frayed or cut.
Issue: The PowerPanel is displaying data, but some of the parameters do not appear to be correct
Solutions:
• Make sure the sensor for the parameter being displayed is correctly connected and installed on your model. For example, RPM will read zero
if the RPM sensor is not connected. See the MicroPower or sensor manuals for specific sensor information.
• Try removing power from and restoring power to the MicroPower.
Issue: I have the MicroPower connected to USB, but do not have a battery pack connected to the MicroPower. The PowerPanel shows a nonzero
voltage, however.
Solution: This is normal. Connecting a battery pack to the MicroPower will result in correct display voltage.
Issue: The Max values and “Cumulative mAH” feature of the PowerPanel is not working correctly. I get low mAH readings after my session.
Solution: The PowerPanel remembers the Max values only during a single session. Once the MicroPower is disconnected from power, the Max
values are cleared. But, disconnecting the PowerPanel from the MicroPower does NOT clear the max values.
