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

THIS PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.

  1. Turn power on to the transceiver.

  2. Look at LED-L3, (1). It should blink OFF-and-ON at a rate based on the outdoor temperature.

  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.

    • If DIP switch #1 is in the ON position, this can be done by placing a jumper wire across the R and P terminals.

    • If DIP switch #1 is in the OFF position, an open across R and P will simulate the off-peak period.

    • LED-L4 should be OFF and the relay LED’s should all be ON.

    • 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.

  5. Simulate a peak period.

    • If DIP switch #1 is in the OFF position, this can be done by placing a jumper wire across the R and P terminals.

    • If DIP switch #1 is in the ON position, 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 for Peak (P) Signal.

    • 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.
