Crestron DIN-AP3 DIN Rail 3-Series Automation Processor DIN-AP3 Troubleshooting (Continued) TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) Compilation error RLCMCVT166 and RLCMCVT177. System locks up. Poor analog versus serial signal definition in the SIMPL Windows program. Various. Cresnet device does not respond. Device not wired correctly. Improper NET ID used. Loss of functionality due to electrostatic discharge. Improper grounding. CORRECTIVE ACTION Confirm properly defined signal definition in the program.
DIN Rail 3-Series Automation Processor Crestron DIN-AP3 DIN-AP3 Troubleshooting (Continued) TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION A/V system device does not respond. IRP2 or serial port not placed properly. Verify placement of IRP2 (hold phosphor card under IRP2 while pressing button) and tighten serial cables. Verify that proper IR or serial port is defined. Verify that serial cable is wired correctly for RS-232, 422, 485.
Crestron DIN-AP3 DIN Rail 3-Series Automation Processor must be taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be daisy chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisy chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run.
