TROUBLESHOOTING

The majority of problems can be traced to improper connections or incorrect set-up parameters. Be sure all connections are clean and tight, that
the correct output board is fitted, and that the set-up parameters are correct. Also, be sure the DIP switch settings and the User Input Plug Jumper
position are correct for the particular application.
