Troubleshooting SmartLink

After all SmartLink control stations are installed and connected to the SmartLink enabled

product, check for shorts and cross-connections with a digital voltmeter.

•

Check the voltage between Net A and ground. This reading should be between 18
- 21 Volts.

•

Check the voltage between Net B and ground. This reading also should be
between 18-21 Volts.

•

Check the voltage between Net A and Net B. This reading should be between 36-
42 Volts.

Check that two LED indicators (located at CR1 and CR2) are illuminated on the LinkPower

supply board.

•

If both are illuminated the data connections are good.

•

If CR1 is illuminated but not CR2, Net A is shorted to ground.

•

If CR2 is illuminated but not CR1, Net B is shorted to ground.

•

If neither LED is illuminated, Net A and Net B are both shorted.

If you have any difficulties installing your system, please contact ETC Technical Services

at the office nearest you.
