Troubleshooting
If your Exorcist is crashing you must quit Exorcist, load VSA and test your
routines again. Once the routines work OK in VSA then you can save them
and go back to testing in the Exorcist.
Problem
Cause
Solution
Exorcist doesn’t respond to
infrared
Infrared receiver not
plugged in properly or
IR transmitter is not
transmitting RC 5 codes
Check that receiver is
plugged all the way in,
then on the Misc screen
press the reset IO Boards
button.
Watch the remote control
panel on the Misc screen, if
there is no response then
you may not have your
remote configured properly
Batteries on transmitter flat
Replace batteries
Exorcist doesn’t respond to
buttons or inputs
Box not plugged in
properly
Check that both ends of the
USB connector are
properly plugged in, the
red LED on the Exorcist
box is working, then screen
press the reset IO Boards
button
Exorcist wont play
multiple routines
simultaneously
Multiple routines not
enabled
Click on the Enable button
on the VSA screen
When VSA routine plays I
hear sound but no motion
VSA routine not setup
properly
Close the Exorcist and then
open your VSA routine
with VSA and check that
your routine works
properly. Check that all the
Com ports are set and be
sure to save the routine
after you get it working in
VSA.
When I try start a routine I
get a communications error
This is normal if you try to
start two routines
simultaneously which both
address the same
communications port, the
error is generated by VSA
not exorcist
Add protection to your
routine so it wont allow
you to start a second
routine while one that uses
the same port is playing
