Octaire Control Panel Operation

Troubleshooting

Error codes can appear either on the control panel’s LCD or in a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal.

When you are using a control panel, one of the most common troubleshooting strategies is to resend the command to see if the error was simply a timeout error.

When you are using BCS commands, one common troubleshooting strategy is to enter the command again. Often the command has simply been entered incorrectly (e.g., omitting an output in a Change command). In other cases, the command has specified a value that is not valid (e.g., entering a decibel value in an adjust volume command that is outside the volume range for the audio signal).

If the error code persists after correcting and resending the command, contact technical support (see page 31).
