Troubleshooting and Maintenance

If there is no display on the DTAM Plus, verify that the proper voltage is
present at the DTAM Plus power supply terminal block (check label on back
of unit). If no voltage is present, check the power to/from the power source.

The most common DTAM Plus problems are related to cabling
configurations and the communication parameters (baud rate, data bits,
parity). These parameters must be identical for both the DTAM Plus and the
controller. Cabling and the communications parameters are always the first
things to check.

If the communications cabling and communications parameters are correct,
perform the diagnostic tests (described in this chapter) to verify that the
DTAM Plus is functioning properly.

Refer to the following table when the DTAM Plus displays an error message.
