Switchlinc LEDs are not lighting

[andrew77]

Hi guys;

 

In an attempt to troubleshoot some instead issues I seem to have shut off the LEDs on the side of a Switchlinc.

I've googled and found the method below but seem to be missing something as I can't get it to work.

IS this right or is there a step missing?

 

 

 

Press & hold the Set button until it beeps (3 seconds) 

The Status LED will begin blinking


Press & hold the Set button until it beeps again (3 seconds) 
The Status LED will continue blinking


Press & hold the Set button until it beeps a third time (3 seconds) 
The Status LED will stop blinking


Use the paddle to brighten or dim the LEDs to the desired brightness 
Press & hold the paddle top to brighten 
Press & hold the paddle bottom to dim

If you're using the device with the ISY then you have the option in the admin console to adjust the device's leds

Being that you have manually changed the setting on the device it's probably a good idea to do a restore device.

Why are you not using the ISY to do the programming?

Hi techman;

 

Thank you for the tip. Clearly I had an ID10T moment.

I checked other SWL LED brightness levels and they're all 0.

 

What is the standard LED brightness level from the factory?

 

Gary, I do use the ISY for the programming. I was attempting to diagnose an issue by using the elusive 4 tap method and thought I should correct it by using the same physical means.

Hi Drew,

 

I'm not sure what the factory setting is, but it's really no big deal to play with the led setting to find one that suits you.

I've cranked the SWL LED brightness setting int he ISY and still no LEDs

 

When I did the the above test (holding the set button, etc) the LEDs lit through the whole 'tree'(?)

so I know they work and I've not broken them .

 

Is there a possible way I shut them off manually trying to 4 tap the SWL?

 

If so, how do you get it back to the way it was?

 

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Do a factory reset on the switch then a device restore from the ISY
