Troubleshooting

Problem Check for

No LED’s, Check the power supply is securely plugged into the monitor
Screen blank Check the power supply is securely plugged into the mains power socket
Check that there is 15VDC power supply on the monitor terminals (broken wire or snagged cable sheath)
Sensor Error Check the sensor cable is securely plugged into the sensor
message Check the sensor cable is securely plugged into the monitor
Replace the sensor
If Sensor Error message still displayed replace the sensor cable
If Sensor Error message still displayed replace the monitor
Audible alarm Check for screen messages - if SETBACK is displayed the monitor has been remotely muted
not working Check if alarm has been disabled in Cal Config menu
