Steffes Transceiver - Manual (Page 23)

9. Make sure PLC signal is received by each controlled device: transceiver receiver, Steffes Heating
Systems Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) heater, receivers, and all other controlled loads to ensure that
these loads turn off.
CHECK OUT PROCEDURE FOR RECEIVE MODE
1. Turn power on to the transceiver.
2. Look at LED-L3. It should blink OFF-and-ON slowly then increasingly faster until it locks ON indicating it
has received PLC signal from the transmitter.
NOTE: It can take 2-3 minutes for PLC signal reception when using a “fast” channel and 7-10
minutes when using a “slow” channel.
3. Look at LED-L4, (2). It may be:
• OFF when receiving an off-peak signal
• ON solid if an override switch is enabled
• blinking OFF and ON according to the type of signal being
received from the control device.
4. Simulate an off-peak period at the transmitting device.
• If DIP switch #1 is in the ON position at the transmitting
device, this can be done by placing a jumper wire across the
R and P terminals.
• If DIP switch #1 is in the OFF position at the transmitting
device, an open across R and P will simulate the off-peak
period.
5. LED 4 should be OFF.
6. The relay LED’s should all be ON.
7. Go to each controlled load (appliance) and make sure it is
operating.
8. Simulate a peak period at the transmitting device.
• If DIP switch #1 is in the OFF position at the transmitting
device, this can be done by placing a jumper wire across
the R and P terminals.
• If DIP switch #1 is in the ON position at the transmitting
device, an open across R and P will simulate the peak
period.
9. Look at the relay LED’s. They should all be off.
10. Look at LED-L4. It should be blinking at the peak rate as
shown.
11. If one of the optional overrides has been installed, verify
proper operation of the override device.
