VIII. Common Faults and Troubleshooting

No input on the channel (LED does not light up)

Reason: Loose wiring, dry contact not closed, insufficient voltage, NPN sensor failure

Troubleshooting: Measure terminal voltage, check sensor output, replace channel/module

LED constantly on (false trigger)

Reason: Circuit short, induction voltage, module internal fault

Troubleshooting: Disconnect signal for testing, shield cable, replace module

Hot swapping (R type) failure

Reason: Rack does not support, module not tightened, bus abnormal

Troubleshooting: Confirm rack supports hot swapping, reinstall, clean interface
