The identification of errors within the FE-2 chassis is triggered in one of two ways :- 1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty.
KV-21LT1 2-1. Rear Cover Removal => => Release the mains power cable from its securing posts. Remove the rear cover fixing screws indicated. Pull the rear cover away from the front beznet until clear of chassis. Note : Use a cross-head screwdriver with a blade length of at least 200mm.
