VIII. Common Faults and Troubleshooting

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

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

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

LED constantly on (false trigger)

Reason: Circuit short, induction voltage, module internal failure

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

High-speed response failure

Reason: Signal interference, long cable, module not tightened

Troubleshooting: Use shielded cable, shorten wiring, clean bus interface
