Troubleshooting

When the controller and the keypads are powered ON all the corresponding

LEDs on the face of the controller will be green. Improper connection may

cause one or more LEDs not to be lit. Check all connections.
Cycle power by pressing the power button, waiting 10 seconds, and then

pressing the power button again.
Check connections from the keypads and speakers to the controller(s).

If the keypad doesn't respond to commands ensure the OS update jumper

on the rear of the keypad is in the RUN position (on the lower pins).
