Diagnostic steps

1. Acknowledge the alarm

   Press OK on the main menu to reset the alarm relay; the manual notes the message continues until the problem is resolved.

2. Check the curtain cable

   Inspect for a disconnected cable to curtain 2, a cause listed in the manual.

3. Check the curtain potentiometer

   Verify the curtain potentiometer is working, since a faulty potentiometer is given as a cause; the manual covers potentiometer calibration in the Calibration menu.

4. Check the curtain motor

   Confirm the curtain's motor is operating, as a motor not working properly is listed as a cause.

When to call a professional

The Smart C/D manual cautions not to open the controller box if a hardware problem arises and to contact an authorized electrician. Call a qualified technician if the curtain still will not move after checking the cable, or if diagnosing the potentiometer or replacing the curtain motor is beyond your experience, since this involves powered drive components and controller wiring.
