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
