Transceiver (Non-Current XCVR1) - Check Out Procedure For Receive Mode

THIS PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.

  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.

      • LED 4 should be OFF.

      • The relay LED’s should all be ON.

      • Go to each controlled load (appliance) and make sure it is operating.

  5. 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.

      • Look at the relay LED’s. They should all be off.

      • Look at LED-L4. It should be blinking at the peak rate as shown.

      • If one of the optional overrides has been installed, verify proper operation of the override device.
