Error Screens
If an error occurs, the FPC 1000 returns to the Main menu display and flashes a
message in the center of the screen, similar to the one in Figure 3-18.
Figure 3-18. Error screen showing message, category and number
The first line is the error message “Communications Failure”. The next line gives
a category (in this case, “Status”) and a number.
_______ Should an error occur, write this information down and call Extron support.
If an FPC 1000 is connected to a BME other than address #0, an error message
will appear across the bottom of the Main menu screen. This could happen, for
example, if there is more than one FPC on a system. The error message is:
Unit probably not the master BME.
If this message appears, the FPC cannot be used. Check that there is only one
FPC on the system and that it is installed in the BME with its address switch set
to #0 (master).
