are two special displays on the Bus LEDs. All the Bus LEDs go out, and for
2-sec. a single LED is on. Walking down the display from Bus 0 to Bus 7
indicates that a Battery Test is in progress. Usually after the tamper
switch is released, the Bus LEDs count rapidly to indicate the EEPROM memory
is being updated.
5.3.2 Verifying Communications
To verify communications, press the
test feature on any transmitter. The
Test in Progress LED comes on. If it
did not come on the receivers are not
communicating with the transponder.
About a second after the Test in
Progress LED comes on, the Transmit
Data LED flashes (indicating the
transponder is sending the test
message to the central console). Less
than a second later the Receive Data
LED flashes (indicating the central
console returned an acknowledgement).
Toggling the transponder’s tamper
switch on/off causes the Transmit Data
LED to flash (indicating that the
transponder is sending the tamper
message to the central console). Less
than a second later the Receive Data
LED flashes (indicating the central
console returns an acknowledgement).
5.4 Troubleshooting Reference
Table 10: Transponder Communications with SE485 Bus
Symptoms Probable Cause Possible Solution
All transponders
on one bus in
communications
failure
1. Power to SE485.
2. Wire between SE485 and
transponder
incorrectly installed.
3. Open, short, or
grounded cable from
SE485 to first splice
or transponder.
4. Wrong cable between
SE485 and computer.
5. Bad SE485 Module.
6. Using third party RS-
485 interface
1. Check 9 VDC adapter for proper voltage. Red
Power LED should be ON (on SE485).
2. Check to make sure transmit from
transponder goes to receive of SE485 and
receive from transponder goes to transmit
on SE485 (RX+ to TX+, RX- to TX-).
3. Use VOM to test cable for short, open or
ground. Repair or replace cable. Also check
for + - pair reversed.
4. Cable should be a straight through cable to
your computer serial port connection. Do
not use null modem cable or cable marked
for printer.
5. Replace SE485 Module.
6. Due to changes made for transient
protection, transformer isolation, and link
busy detection, these signals are not
compatible with third party RS-485
Interfaces. Replace with SE485.
High
communications
error count.
1. Wire between SE485 and
transponder
incorrectly installed.
2. Wrong wire type (see
Section
3.2.1 General
Guidelines).
1. Check to make sure transmit from
transponder goes to receive of SE485 and
receive from transponder goes to transmit
on SE485 (RX+ to TX+, RX- to TX-).
2. Wire type must be twisted pair.
Single
transponder in
communication
failure.
1. Transponder not on.
2. Wrong transponder
address.
3. RS-232/SE485 switch
position.
4. SE485 wiring on
transponder.
5. Close lightning hit.
6. Bad transponder.
1. Check power switch.
2. Check DIP switch setting on transponder to
correspond with your transponder data base
setting.
3. Check slide switch on transponder to make
sure it is in the SE485 position.
4. Check to make sure transmit from
transponder goes to receive of SE485 and
receive from transponder goes to transmit
on SE485 (RX+ to TX+, RX- to TX-).
5. Power down transponder and restart. If this
does not work replace transponder.
6. Replace transponder.
