Back Module Installation Follow these steps to install the back module into a frame: 1. Remove a blank back plate from the frame. Do not discard the blank back plates. They may be needed for future configurations. 2. On the side of the back module that inserts into the front module, remove the inner protective cap from the fiber connection (see Figure 2-4 on page 16).
Caution
Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. Observe strict cleaning procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.
3. Follow the inspection and cleaning procedure that begins on page 19. 4. If it is already installed, remove the front module from the slot. 5. Install the new back module by inserting the bottom lip into the required frame slot, and then screwing it into place. Ensure that the EMI gaskets on the right side of the back module remains in place during the installation. The EMI gaskets fit tightly. 6. Apply the adhesive label to the back module if it is supplied separately. Front Module Installation Follow these steps to install the front module: 1. Pull out the finger-release screws on the right and left side of the front panel of the frame, and then open it. 2. Locate the front module slot that corresponds with the matching back module.
17
3. Gently remove the outer and inner protective caps from the laser connections. (see Figure 2-4 on page 16).
Caution
Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. Observe strict cleaning procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.
4. Follow the fiber cleaning instructions that begin on page 19. 5. Ensure that your front module matches with a corresponding back module of the same name. 6. Slide the module into the guides in the frame. 7. When the module edge is flush with the guide, close the extractor handle. The module is properly seated when its edge is flush with the guide edge and the extractor handle closes. 8. Close the front panel to ensure proper frame ventilation.

Inspection and Cleaning Procedure Inspection
Warning
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the fiber is not live. 2. Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope. 3. If the fiber endface is clean, return to the installation instructions on page 17 for back modules or page 17 for front modules. If the connector is dirty, proceed to the dry cleaning instructions below. Dry Cleaning If you are using cartridge or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the manufacturers directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps: 1. Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid touching the cleaning surface of the wipe. 2. Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
Caution
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
3. Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe. 4. Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope. 5. If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps on page 17 for back modules, or page 17 for front modules. If the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.
21
Wet Cleaning Using 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber: 1. Fold the wipe into a square, about four to eight layers thick. 2. Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99.8% alcohol, ensuring that a portion of the wipe remains dry. 3. Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the lint-free wipe. 4. Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the wipe, removing any residual alcohol. 5. Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet cleaning with another clean section of the lint-free wipe.
Caution
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
6. Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again. 7. If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is clean. If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer Service for further instructions. If the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions on page 17 for back modules, or page 17 for front modules.

Upgrading Module Firmware

Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to install newer versions of software. CCS Pilot, CoPilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this procedure. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame that contains an ICE6800+ or a 6800+ETH module. In the unlikely event that the upgrade fails (because of such situations as network interruptions, power failures, and so on), the module may not respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the procedures described in Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure on page 26.
Upgrading the Firmware

You can upgrade your 6800+ modules firmware using the Software Upgrade tool. This tool is included with CCS Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later.
Caution
The File Transfer tab is not meant to be used for firmware upgrades. For best results, use the Software Upgrade dialog box to upgrade module firmware.
To upgrade your modules firmware, follow these steps: 1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website. 2. If the affected module has not been discovered, perform the Discovery operation, as described in Discovering Your Module Using CCS Software on page 57.
Note
Information about discovering modules can also be found in your CCS software application manual or online help. (If you cannot discover the device, see Manually Adding a Device to the Discovery or Network Folder on page 27.)
3. From the Tools menu, select Software Upgrade.
23
The Software Upgrade dialog box appears.
Version Info lists the firmware version currently installed on the module.
Package Info includes a list of the components contained in the ZIP file.
Figure 2-6. Software Upgrade Tools New Transfer Tab 4. On the New Transfer tab, click Add. The Device Selection dialog box opens. 5. Select one or more devices, and then click OK to close the Add Device dialog box.
Note
You can only add one device from each IP address. All items in a frame have the same IP address.
The selected devices appear in the table under Device Name. These devices will receive the same upgrade package. 6. Before proceeding with the firmware upgrade, you can Highlight the modules position in the Navigation window by clicking Find Device. View the firmware version currently installed on the module by clicking Version Info on the Software Upgrade dialog box.
24
7. Click Browse to select the firmware upgrade package (ZIP file). A standard Windows File Selection dialog box opens. 8. Choose the upgrade ZIP file on a local or network drive. The selected files path name appears to the left of the Browse button.
Note
The extraction process of the ZIP file part of the upgrade process. You do not need to extract the files yourself. You can view the contents of the ZIP file by clicking Package Info on the Software Upgrade dialog box.
9. Click Submit Transfer. A message appears that asks if you want to proceed with the request. If you have multiple devices selected, multiple transfer tasks are submittedone per device. The transfer now progresses. You can minimize the Software Upgrade dialog box, continue with other tasks, or switch to the Progress tab to view the status of the transfers.
Note
Closing the Software Upgrade dialog box does not affect any of the transfer processes that may be running in the background. If you try to log off or exit the CCS software while a transfer is underway, a message will alert you that processes are still active and asks if you want to terminate these processes.
10. Select the Log tab and look at the Progress column to ensure that all files have correctly updated. The module automatically reboots following an upgrade procedure.
25
Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure

Firmware upgrades may fail in the event of network interruptions, power failures, or if the wrong upgrade package was transferred to the module. These problems can be corrected by upgrading the firmware while the module is in Boot Loader mode. The upgrade will not work unless you put the module in Boot Loader mode.
Note
If you have not already downloaded the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our website, do so now.
Putting the Module in Boot Loader Mode Follow these steps to put the module in Boot Loader mode: 1. Remove the affected module from the 6800+ frame.

Operating Notes
When you set the control parameters on the DAS6801+ or OP+DAS, observe the following: If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may also be affected. See Parameter Interdependencies on page 41 for more information. When you change a parameter, the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 30 seconds to save the latest change. After 30 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be restored if the module loses power and must be restarted. For best results, and to ensure SDI output jitter compliance, when video is sourced from low quality video sources such as VCRs, you should use the synchronizer mode (found at Synchronization > Frame Sync Mode > Sync Mode).
Q-SEE Compliant Thumbnails

When installed in an FR6802+QXF frame that also contains a 6800+ETH resource module, DAS6801+ module control windows have an extra Streaming tab in CCS Pilot and Navigator (version 3.2.1 or later). Here you can view output video from the module. In addition, video from the DAS6801+, displayed on the 6800+ETH control page at up to three frames per second, and (for CCS Navigator only) on Graphical Navigation pages.
Note
Both DAS6801+ and OP+DAS modules show a DAS6801+ label in CCS Navigator.

Audio Embedding Modes

The DAS6801+/OP+DAS audio embedder component is composed of several smaller subcomponent blocks: One ancillary data stripper (ADS) Four audio embedding subcomponents
The first subcomponent is an ancillary data stripper (ADS). This block removes all ancillary data packets in the input SDI stream, prior to embedding. Following the ADS block are four separate audio-embedding subcomponents. Each subcomponent has the ability to operate on only one audio group, either appending or overwriting a predetermined group onto the SDI stream.
31
The audio embedding modes are Audio Group (1 to 4) Embedding Mode parameters (see page 63). Table 2-6 describes the Off, Append, OverWrt, and Auto options available from each of the embedding modes. Table 2-6. Embedding Mode Options Options
Off Append
Description
Deactivates embedding of the selected audio group Attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary region (see Append Embedding on page 32) Attempts to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data (see Overwrite Embedding on page 36) Attempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same audio group number; failing that, it appends the new audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packet (refer to the Audio Group (1 to 4) Exists parameters on page 63 to determine what audio groups are already present in the incoming SDI signal)
OverWrt
Auto
Append Embedding When you select Append embedding, the DAS6801+ attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary data space (ADS). Append embedding is only valid if the audio group to be embedded does not already exist.
32
Figure 2-9 shows how append embedding will appear in the ancillary data space when there is no previous audio or other data.

Overwrite Embedding When you select Overwrite embedding, the module attempts to overwrite any existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data. This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists. If the new sample distribution does not exactly match the existing audio data packet sample distribution, the embedder will mark some audio data packets for deletion (DID word will be set to 180h).
Note
To avoid sample distribution issues, activate the ADS Clean feature (see ADS Clean Parameter on page 41).
When you attempt Overwrite embedding and there is no previous audio (as in Figure 2-15), this will return an error because there is nothing to overwrite.

Audio Embedding Errors

Table 2-7 describes audio embedding errors (also see page 63). Table 2-7. Audio Embedding Error Descriptions Error
Group (1 to 4) Append Embedding Error
Description
Occurs if the embedder is set to Append mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group already exists in the incoming SDI signal (in this case, the embedder will not embed another audio data and control packet of the same audio group, as this will result in incorrect audio sample distribution) Occurs if the embedder is set to Overwrite mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group does not exist in the incoming SDI signal
Group (1 to 4) Overwrite Embed Error
To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines: Set the embedding mode to Auto. If the group is present, it will be overwritten; if it is not present, it will be appended. The overwrite and append errors are actually warnings that the appropriate operation is not being performed. Do not overwrite embedded groups of 20-bit audio samples with groups of 24-bit audio samples. The required extended data packet information appended to that group may overwrite a pre-existing audio group. For 24-bit audio embedding, use the ADS Clean feature provided. Do not overwrite embedded groups of 24-bit audio samples with groups of 20-bit audio samples due to existing embedded extended data packets. For this mode, use the ADS Clean feature provided.
AES Non-PCM Processing

When AES is selected as the assignment for an audio input channel and that AES format feedback is detected as Non-PCM, the output channel gain and invert controls that are assigned to that source channel will have no effect on the Non-PCM signal.
38
Video Frame Synchronization

The frame synchronizer offers two modes of operation: Synchronizer (Sync) mode and Delay mode, which can be chosen using the Frame Sync Mode parameter. (See page 60.) When in Sync mode, the output video is synchronized to the reference video. When in Delay mode, the output video is synchronized to the input video. In both Sync mode and Delay mode, there are several controls to manipulate the output video signal: Horizontal timing and vertical timing Adjustable frame delay Options to determine the output video behavior on loss of input video, including pass, black, and freeze Manually freeze output video on first or second field, or on the whole frame
Audio Synchronization
By default, DAS6801+/OP+DAS synchronizes analog input audio or AES input audio with timing information from the video frame synchronizer prior to embedding the audio. (See page 64.) You can use the Audio Sync Bypass parameter to output non-synchronized audio. You can set the Audio LOV Output Mode parameter so that, in the event of loss of video, the audio is either passed or muted.
Audio Path
You can assign each of the 16 embedded audio channels, and the 2 AES output channels (with the AES option), to one of up to 10 sources, as listed below: Ch (1A to 2B) Ch (1 to 2) Sum Test Tone 400 Hz Test Tone 1 kHz, Test Tone 2 kHz, and Test Tone 4 kHz
(The parameters are described on page 65.)
39
Test Pattern Generator

When the Test Pattern Enable parameter (listed on page 61) is set to On, you can use the Test Pattern Select parameter to choose from the following: 75% Color Bars Modulated Ramp Multiburst Pulse & Bars
3D Comb Filtering
If your DAS6801+/OP+DAS module has the DAS68OPT+3D option activated, then you will have two additional parameters: Frame Comb Filter Field Comb Filter
These parameters are in the parameter list under Decoder > Filtering. (Contact your Customer Service representative to purchase license keys. To activate a license key, see Adding a License Key on page 30.)
Note
These parameters do not appear in CCS Navigator if you do not have the option activated. They will always appear in + Pilot Lite, but if the option key is not activated, these parameters will be unavailable.
40
Parameter Interdependencies
When you configure certain parameters, you force a change in other associated parameters. The various conditions that affect parameter availability or settings are described in the following sections: ADS Clean Parameter on page 41 Channel Word Length on page 41 Parameter Ranges Depending on Video Standard Setting on page 42 Cross-Functional Parameter Changes on page 43
ADS Clean Parameter

The ADS Clean parameter removes all data from the Ancillary data space in preparation for embedding audio. Depending on the setting of the ADS Clean parameter (listed on page 63), the Audio Group (1 to 4) Embedding Mode parameters will have different options. Table 2-8. ADS Clean Parameter ADS Clean Audio Group (1 to 4) Parameters State Embedding Mode Options
Yes No Off Append Off Append OverWrt Auto
Channel Word Length

The default value for all Emb Audio Ch (1/2 to 15/16) Word Length parameters is 20-bits. (The parameters are listed on page 65.) If at least one pair is set to 24-bits, the corresponding embedder will enable 24-bits embedding for that audio group.

Recalling Factory Default Parameter Settings Table 2-12 on page 53 describes all of the parameter settings for the DAS6801+ and OP+DAS, including the original factory defaults. To return this module to its factory default settings, you can either reset each parameter individually or do a global recall following this procedure: 1. Rotate the hex switch to 0. 2. Toggle the navigation switch to the bank number 0. Use the control LEDs to verify which bank you have selected, or use an available 6800+ software control option (serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in confirming your bank selection. 3. Rotate the hex switch to the global recall parameter F. 4. Toggle the navigation switch to On. Use an available 6800+ software control option to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming the parameter value. Reading Software and Hardware Versions The current software version of your DAS6801+/OP+DAS module can only be viewed using a CCS-enabled control panel or a CCS software application, such as Pilot or + Pilot Lite. See your RCP-CCS-1U Installation and Operation Manual, CCS software application user manual, or CCS software application online help for information on viewing software and hardware version numbers.
Changing Parameters Using CCS Software

Before using software applications to change your modules parameter settings, you must refresh (+ Pilot Lite) or discover (Pilot and Navigator) the module. Refresh and Discovery are the processes by which your software finds, and then connects to your module. Identifying Your Module in CCS Software Whether your module is a DAS6801+ or an OP+DAS, when you discover it in CCS Navigator or refresh it in + Pilot Lite, the module will be identified as a DAS6801+. If your module has an optional laser OP+DAS component, the Laser Wavelength parameter displays the wavelength. If the module does not have an optical component, the Laser Wavelength parameter displays Not Installed.
In addition, if the module is an OP+DAS, it will have one additional alarm that standard DAS6801+ modules do not. This alarm is Laser Failed. Refreshing Your Module Using + Pilot Lite When you use + Pilot Lite to change your modules control parameters, you must refresh the control connection between your 6800+ frame and PC. To refresh the connection, from the + Pilot Lite menu bar, select File > Refresh. For information about controlling a device using + Pilot Lite, see your + Pilot Lite User Manual. Discovering Your Module Using CCS Software To discover your DAS6801+ or OP+DAS module, your Pilot or Navigator software must be in Build mode. 1. If the Discovery pane is not open, click Tools > Discovery in the main menu. A Discovery pane appears, most likely in the bottom left corner of the screen. 2. Click Options, and then click Add. 3. Enter the IP address of the frame that contains your module, the frame that contains your ICE6800+ module, or the frame that contains a 6800+ETH module that provides access to your module. 4. Click OK to close the Add IP address dialog box, and then OK again to close the Discovery Options dialog box. 5. Click Start. Pilot or Navigator runs a discovery. 6. When your discovery is complete, Discovery Completed is displayed in the Discovery pane. To continue, click Save. The objects you have discovered are saved to the Discovery folder of the Navigation pane. You can now switch to Control mode by selecting Operational Mode > Control from the main menu. Double-click DAS6801+ in the Navigation pane (OP+DAS modules are also referred to as DAS6801+ in the Navigator pane). The Control dialog box opens displaying the modules controls.

The following table lists all of the remote control parameters and options for the DAS6801+ and OP+DAS. To access these parameters, you can use + Pilot Lite or CCS control software such as Pilot or Navigator. See your software user manual for more information. You can also use a web browser, if there is a 6800+ETH+HTTP in the chain of 6800+ frames. See your FR6802+QXF manual for more information. Note that rows in the table that contain a range of numbers in parentheses indicate that a series of numbered parameters contain that same function and range. Legend A bolded option is the default setting for that parameter. Read-only parameters are shown in grey. All parameters clip unless otherwise indicated. Table 2-12. DAS6801+/OP+DAS Parameters Path

Module Status LEDs

DAS6801+ and OP+DAS modules do not have any card-edge alarms. Instead, module status LEDs on the corner of the module light up if an error is detected. See Figure 2-18 on page 68 for the location of these LEDs, and Table 2-14 for a definition of the LED colors.
Note
If the LED is flashing red, contact your Customer Service representative.
Table 2-14. Module Status LED Descriptions LED Color

Off Green Red Flashing red Yellow
Meaning
There is no power to the module; the module is not operational. There is power to the module; the module is operating properly. There is an alarm condition. The module has detected a hardware/firmware fault. The module is undergoing configuration.

Alarms
If a major or minor alarm is triggered within your DAS6801+ or OP+DAS module, the Status LED will light red. Alarms are usually logged and monitored within available software control applications (for example, + Pilot Lite or Pilot). You can only differentiate between major and minor alarms within a software control application. See the appropriate software control user manual or online help for more information. The following settings can be made for each alarm within Pilot or Navigator software: Table 2-15. Alarm Options Alarm Option
Enable/Disable
Effect
This option toggles between Enabled and Disabled. If the alarm is Enabled, an alarm condition will generate an alarm; but if it is Disabled, the alarm condition will be ignored. This setting determines whether a triggered alarm will be reported as major or minor. The range is 1 - 10. A priority of 6 or higher is a major alarm, and a priority of 5 or lower is a minor alarm This option determines how long an alarm condition must exist (in seconds) before the alarm is triggered. If the alarm level is reached for less time than the Trigger duration, then the alarm will not trigger. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 (or two hours). If this option is set to 0, the alarm will trigger as soon as the alarm condition exists. Determines the amount of time the alarm condition must be in abate in order for the alarm to be turned off. Choose any duration from 0 to 7200 seconds (or two hours). If this option is set to 0, the alarm will clear as soon as the alarm condition ceases. When an alarm is active, click here to allow other users on the network to see that you have acknowledged the alarm.

Laser Safety Guidelines

Laser Safety
WARNING
Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specified in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared light normally not visible to the human eye. Although a conventional laser produces a small beam of light, the power density is very high, and it can damage your eyes. If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy on the retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000 times more than at the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina. Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3, and 4), according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic transmitter modules in this series are designated Class 1.
97
Precautions for Enclosed Systems

In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. However, if the fiber optic cables that interconnect various components of an optical fiber disconnect or break, you may be exposed to laser emissions. Also, technicians may be exposed to laser emissions during installation and servicing. Unlike some other laser designs, semiconductor lasers have a highly divergent beam that decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the distance, the less energy will enter the eye, and the less potential risk for eye injury.
WARNING Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at the energized fiber end.
Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems are completely enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions: 1. Do not stare into optical connectors or broken fibers. 2. Ensure technicians have satisfactorily completed an approved training course before performing installation or maintenance. 3. Ensure there are appropriate warning labels near the optical ports of the modules.
Precautions for Unenclosed Systems

During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication system is considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow these practices: CAUTION
Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service, maintenance, and restoration.
1. Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at close distances.
98
2. Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during installation or servicing. 3. Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set. 4. Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems during installation and service. For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the workplace, consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in the U.S., or outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.

The label shown in Figure B-1 is applicable to Class 1 laser products.

Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips

Software Communication Problems
The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with + Pilot Lite or CCS Pilot/Navigator. Solutions Ensure you have specified the proper module slot. See your frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about slot identification. Verify whether there is an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH module installed in the frame. Remove any legacy 6800 series product that is in the frame. + Pilot Lite and CCS software cannot communicate with legacy 6800 series products, even though these modules may operate with card-edge controls in an FR6802+ frame. Legacy 6800 products do not have the + symbol on their extractor handles. Check for bent pins on the back module by following this procedure: a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module. c. Inspect the 20- or 30-pin spring connector at the bottom of the back module (Figure C-1 on page 102), and verify that the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins.
d. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
Figure C-1. Typical Back Module Spring Connector The frame is powered up, but + Pilot Lite does not communicate with the module. Solutions Ensure you have installed the correct cables between the PC and the frame: A null modem serial cable must be used between a PC and an FR6802+ frame (not a straight-through cable). At minimum, this requires that pins 2 and 3 are crossed, but pin 5 (ground) is straight-through to pin 5. A USB cable must be used between a PC and an FR6802+QXF frame.
Verify whether there is an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH module installed in the frame. + Pilot Lite control is disabled if an ICE6800+ or 6800+ETH control module is installed in the frame.
Set the Frame ID DIP switch settings correctly (the Frame ID DIP switch is located at the rear of the frame.) If only one frame is connected, set the DIP switch to 00.
102
If multiple frames are used in a daisy-chain, set the DIP switch numbers consecutively to the following: 00 (frame 1) 01 (frame 2) 10 (frame 3 11 (frame 4)
See your FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about frame ID switch settings. Check that the correct COM port is configured in + Pilot Lite and that another application is not using that COM port.
+ Pilot Lite and CCS software see the frame, but do not find all of the modules. Solutions Remove any legacy 6800 series products. Plug your modules in before starting the discovery. Start your discovery after the frame and all modules have fully powered up. Refresh + Pilot Lite (File > Refresh), and ensure that the installed modules are fully powered up first before discovery.
+ Pilot Lite and CCS Pilot/Navigator do not respond after they have been launched. Solution Close either + Pilot Lite or CCS Pilot/Navigator. Both programs cannot be running at the same time on the same PC. + Pilot Lite and CCS software show a module in the Control window, but cannot control it. Solution 1. Set the modules Local/Remote jumper to Remote. 2. Ensure the module name in the Control window matches the module type in the frame. 3. Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated properly and powered up. 4. Verify that the Control window indicates the device is ready.
103
Hardware Communication Problems

After a power failure, the frames and PC do not communicate. Solution 1. Wait four minutes for the frames to recover from the power failure. 2. Close the + Pilot Lite or CCS software, and then restart the PC. 3. Restart the software application.
The module does not seem to work. Solutions Ensure the correct frame is powered up. Verify that all appropriate rear connections are secure. Gently push the module into its slot in the frame to ensure it is seated properly. Ensure the back module does not have bent pins by following this procedure: a. Unplug the front module. b. Unscrew and remove the back module. c. Inspect the spring connector at the bottom of the back module (Figure C-1), and verify the connector does not have any slightly bent or pressed pins. d. Carefully reposition any bent pins. If this is not possible, contact Customer Support.
