TROUBLESHOOTING
POWER LED is Off:
Check POWER connection on rear panel, and that the remote
supply is connected to a live AC source.
No communication between the unit and the com-
puter:
Set the DEVICE ADDRESS to a unique small number,
and try polling for units in RaneWare (under Poll in the
Device menu). The unit should be found quickly.
Check that the COM port selected in RaneWare (under
System Setup in the Setup menu) is the one on your
computer that is connected to the unit. Also check that the
cable is a standard RS-232 cable (not a null modem type). If
an adaptor is used, it must not be null modem. The cable must
be connected to the RW 232 INPUT jack on the RPD 1 rear.
FCC NOTICE

Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of the equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at their own
expense. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Rane Corporation could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
CANADIAN EMC NOTICE
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements
of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment
Regulations.
Cet Appariel numerique de la classe B respecte toutes
les exigences du Reglement sur le material broilleur du
Canada.
APPENDIX—DATA CONNECTIONS
To control the units from a computer, use nine-pin RS-232
cables 50 feet or shorter. The cable must not be a null-modem
type. A short cable is supplied for connecting adjacent units.
Daisy-chain up to 16 units at a time by connecting the COM
port on the computer to the INPUT connector on the first unit,
and the OUTPUT of each unit to the next unit’s INPUT. Since
RS-232 can pass through RW 232, additional RS-232 devices
may be attached at the end of the RW 232 chain.
