11.1 System Diagnostics
Your DLCM contains extensive diagnostics that allow it to determine the source of common problems. If
your DLCM is not operating properly, your first course of action should be to review the
{DIAGNOSTICS} sub-menu. To access this menu from the standard operating mode follow this
procedure (provided your user interface – keypad and display – is functioning):
1. Press [MOTOR] repeatedly until the display reads {MOTOR OFF}.
2. Cycle power to the DLCM (turn the main OFF then ON). This will cause the self-test routine to re-
execute.
3. Press [MENU]. The screen {–MENU– / DIAGNOSTICS-1} is displayed. The value, in this case
'1' indicates how many failures were detected.
4. Press [ENTER] to enter the Diagnostics Menu. The screen {DIAG MENU 1/11 / POWER IN:
OK} is displayed.
5. Repeatedly press [UP] to cycle through all nine Diagnostic screens.
6. If a screen displays a FAIL message, press [ENTER] to display the time and date the failure
occurred. Press [ENTER] again to display the clear screen. Press [UP] and then [ENTER] to clear
the message. (This paragraph does not apply should you encounter a Battery Fail or Circuit Fail
situation).
Make a note of any failures reported in the Diagnostics Menu. Using this information, proceed with
the troubleshooting instructions below:
Other actions may be necessary to bring the process back to normal conditions before clearing a
failure.
