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.
