Chapter 13: Troubleshooting
Chapter 12: Troubleshooting
This chapter describes the resources available to troubleshoot field wiring problems,
broken heads, pipes and mainlines, AC power problems, monitoring of water usage,
and more.
In order to take full advantage of all the capabilities of the DXi controller as a
maintenance tool, refer to the following manual sections for operational information
and proper setup:
• Flow Monitoring: See Appendix B: Flow Meters
• Broken field wiring, short circuits, and faulty valve solenoids:
See Appendix C: Current Monitor
Communications Wiring Issues
(Satellite to Satellite)
All alerts are systematically retrieved and recorded by the Central Control Computer.
Central software has reporting tools to comprehensively sort, organizer and filter
alerts by various parameters.
DXi satellite groups use a daisy chain configuration, that will result in failed
communication to all downstream devices at the point of failure. Here is an example:
A FLOWMAX group is hardwired together consisting of four satellites
Submaster_001-00 <-> Satellite_001-01 <-> Satellite_001-02 <-> Satellite_001_03
If the communication line is severed between satellite 001-01 and 001-02, all satellites
downstream of 001-01 lose communication with the submaster. In this case, that
would be Satellite_001-02 and Satellite_001-03. This would result in alerts at the
submaster for loss of communication with the given satellites and an alert at satellites
001-02 and 001-03 for loss of communication with the submaster.
