Decodercommfailed:Thismayindicateacompletedecoderfailure,ORthedecodermaynotbeconnectedor
poweredproperly.VerifyALLconnections:ICD‐HPtoprogrammingcup(bothends)anddecoderpower.Ifthe
decoderisconnectedinthetwo‐wirepathbutthecontrollerpowerisOff,
decoderwillnotrespond.Ifdecoder
andICD‐HPareconnectedcorrectly,anddecoderhaspower,andDecodercommfailedmessageappears,
decoderislikelydefective.
Current:Displayselectricalcurrentdrawofdecoderinmilliamps.Standbyrangeisapproximately3‐5ma.Whendecoder
isactive,thisvaluewillbehigher,
dependingonnumberandtypeofdevicesconnectedtodecoderoutput.Totalcurrent
onadecodercannotexceed1000ma.
Thecurrentdisplaydoesnotchangeinrealtime.Ifastationisstartedorstopped,runthediagnosticGetDecoderStatus
againtoseethenewcurrentdraw.
Output:The
outputmatrixshowsthestatusofeachoutputofthedecoder.Thedisplaywillshowthenumberofoutputs
forthesizeofdecoderdetected(asinglestationdecoderwillonlyhave1output).
 Solenoid:Showswhetherasolenoidorsimilardeviceisdetectedontheoutput(Y=Yes,N=No).
TheSolenoidstatusmaynotchangeuntilpowerhasbeencycledoff/ontothedecoder,ifasolenoidhasjust
beenaddedtothedecoder.Turnoffeitherthecontroller,orremovetheADM99decoderoutputmodulefrom
thecontroller,forapproximately15seconds,andthenturnthepowerbackon
(orreplacetheADM99).Solenoid
statuswillbeupdated.
