What should I do when my system manager’s offline alarm is triggered?
Perform a rescan at the system manager, which will force the controller to scan for the offline devices. If that doesn’t solve the problem, perform secondary checks, including proper EOL termination of the loop and power at the offline devices.
Can I use a volt meter on the comm loop to help identify communication issues?
No, only an oscilloscope will supply proper information showing the quality of the signal on the comm loop.

I just installed a new case controller and it will not call for refrigeration. What’s causing this?
Think of parameter r12 as the main switch for case control, so it needs to be set to the “On” position before operation will begin (when set to “Off,” alarm code A45 will be active).
My case controller shows “-d-“ on the display but is not defrosting. What does this mean?
The case controller will continue to display this during the pulldown phase until the case has reached its cut-in temperature.
How do I set the address in a case controller (including AK-CC 210, 525A, 550A, and EKC 202D2)?

Can the AK-SC 255 communicate with all AK2-style of IO?
Yes, however for the AK-XM 103A (4AI/4AO) module, firmware version v2.101 or higher must exist in the controller.
