Basic Troubleshooting
6.1 Reliability
The F22 Series of remote controllers are designed for high reliability in an industrial environment.
Design features include:
• Heavy duty, shock-resistant design
Design features include:
• Heavy duty, shock-resistant design
• Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials
• Button life in excess of 2,000,000 cycles
• Self-diagnostics to simplify troubleshooting and maintenance
In addition to these features, all handheld and joystick models are delivered with two complete
transmitters. This provides the ultimate in reliability; in the event that one transmitter is damaged,
you can switch to the backup transmitter.
6.2 Self-Diagnostics and Error Codes
Both the transmitter and receiver of the F22 Series are designed with sophisticated self-diagnostics
to simplify troubleshooting and maintenance. This allows for detection of malfunctions in the
pushbuttons, joystick, RF circuit, and relay driver circuits. The system will sound an alarm signal in
Morse Code if a malfunction occurs in either the transmitter or receiver (see Chapter 11 for a table of
error codes).
If an error message is detected by the self-diagnostic program, then the appropriate alarm signal will
sound and a Power-Off of the system will be initiated. Until the malfunction is corrected, the system
will remain shut down (see Section 7.1 for more information).

Troubleshooting
In the event that a problem occurs, follow the listed steps in order until the unit is functioning
normally. If you are unable to solve the problem, then return the unit to your distributor for service.
1. Check the EMS switch. If it is depressed, reset it by rotating clockwise until it pops up.
2. Check the green Rotary Start Switch. If it is missing, replace it. If it is present, turn it to OFF.
