operate properly. The symptoms could include: Power LED flickers or is off, IR/RF Test LED is continuously flickering or on without any Niles RF remote use, intermittent operation or no operation.
SOLUTIONS:
•Test your power supply connections
•Test your Flasher connections
•Test your Sensor connection
•Test your cable for shorts and opens
2.Source Powering On or Off Incorrectly
To automate sources correctly, the HT-MSU requires Status feedback from sources that have a single-toggle power command. The HT-MSU either “sees” or doesn’t “see” control signals at the Status ports. If the HT-MSU sees improper or intermittent status feedback (i.e., the HT-MSU may “think” that the source is off when it may really be powered on), the operation of the HT-MSU is compromised.
The symptoms could include: sources staying on when the System Off button is pressed; a source turns on for a Master Key and off when that Master Key is pressed again; and sources not turning on at all. The most important tool for troubleshooting this issue is knowledge. Knowing the functionality of the sources being used with the HT-MSU is paramount. For example, we know that most DVD players require choosing composite/component video output, even digital HDMI or DVI output. When set for component or digital video output, the composite video output is sometimes disabled. If a DVD player is set for digital video output and it disables the composite video output, you cannot use the composite video output for status connection to the HT-MSU. Because there will never be a signal at the composite output, the HT-MSU will think that the DVD is always off and issue the power command. This will cause the DVD player to be turned on the first time a Master Key is pressed and turned off the second time the same Master Key is pressed.
Status feedback is tested when configuring the HT-MSU using the Niles QuickConfig PC Configuration Software. After the transfer screen in the software, there is a Functionality Test Screen that allows the software to test the configuration stored in the HT-MSU while providing feedback on the screen of the programming laptop. The feedback provided is real-time status feedback for Status Ports SRC1 through SRC6 as well as the TV/7 and RCV/8 ports. The Functionality Test Screen also allows for feedback on the Assignable 12V Output and relay ports.
