UM 506 stopped working with MC 460 controller
« on: June 30, 2010, 01:47:48 PM »

These have been used on our HW recirc system for 5+ years w/o problem. A few days ago the MC460 would not activate the UM506.  I checked the codes: OK. I moved the controller right next (~ 3 ft away) to the module.. still no go.  Pushed module "on" button: worked just fine.

Me thinks one of them is kaput...  any ideas which?  any other possible cause?  (nothing new added to the house circuits, BTW)

Thanks

Is the MC460 used to control any other modules and do they still work?
Can you try a different module on the problem UM506s address with the MC460?
That may give a rough test of the MC460.

Do you have any other controller to test the UM506 with?

Try rotating the house and unit code dials on the UM506 a few time in case they got dirty and the address has changed.

What finally did the trick was rotating the dials on the UM506.

IT WORKS!!

Thank you!! :)%
