Troubleshooting

Q1. I have followed the above instructions but my dapters are

still not working. What can I do?

1. Make sure all the adapters are under the same electric meter.

2. If the Power LED does not light up at all, there may be a hardware
problem.

3. The PLC devices might not communicate with each other if they
are in dierent phases of a four-wire three-phase circuit.

4. As some power strips have surge protector, please make sure the
adapters are not separated by the power strips.

Q2. The adapters were working ne but no longer work now

that they've been moved. How do I make them work again?

Plug the adapters into the same power strip and follow Appendix:
Using the Pair Button to pair them. If they still don’t work, please

check for possible interference causes:

1. Air-conditioners
household appliances are working too close to the adapters.

2. Air switch may lead to failed communication among PLC
devices; check whether there are air switches hindering
communication.
