Possible Causes

Blown panel supply fuse, Loose power or ground connection to controller, Failed HMI/display module, Internal controller fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate DC power before opening the control panel.

  • Check fuses: Locate and test the low-voltage fuses supplying the controller and display. Replace blown fuses with correct rating.
  • Inspect wiring: Verify tight and clean connections at the controller's power and ground terminals.
  • Display module: If the controller runs but the display is blank, the HMI module may be defective and require replacement.
  • Controller replacement: If no power is reaching the controller despite good fuses and wiring, the controller itself may need replacement and configuration.
