How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power to all units before working on cascade wiring.
Steps:
- 1. Inspect cascade cables: Check the communication cables between master and slave units for secure connections and visible damage.
- 2. Verify wiring order: Ensure the cascade wiring follows the Takagi diagram (master to slave 1, slave 1 to slave 2, etc.) and that DIP switches or addressing are set correctly.
- 3. Test with short cable: Use a short, known-good cable between two units to rule out cable faults.
- 4. Professional diagnosis: If error 741 persists, a technician should test the cascade control board and replace any defective components.
