There is a known issue with the 450ECM, where the data mode (i.e. not streaming mode) communications do not work properly when there is pressure on the touch screen. We hope to release a firmware fix for this in the near future. The work-around, is to ensure that there is nothing touching the screen during data mode communications, this may include the clip on bezel, if it doubt remove the bezel. To overcome the issue of the bezel applying pressure to the touch panel a new screen location piece is available part number MC0065-2, contact e-plex for details.

If you continue to experience communications problems when there is nothing touching the screen, contact your dealer.

This indicates that two or more modules have been connected to the bus with overlapping addresses. To resolve dis-connect modules until the module carrying the duplicate address is identified.

This message can indicate one of two conditions:

1. A module is continuously responding. Remove modules from the bus one at a time until the offending module has been identified.
2. Battery volts on bus is stopping all communication. Check the bus wiring.

This may occur due to variety of factors, generally the system will ignore these until it gets to a point where the system can not operate and the message will change to System Error.

The clock is seeing continuous data errors, and is unable to function. This may occur if one module is not working correctly and is putting invalid data onto the bus. To resolve identify module(s) generating errors.

The X and Y axes can be inverted in the module calibration program. If these are not set correctly, the touch regions will not behave as expected. When set correctly, pressing in the top left corner will give low readings for both axes, and pressing in the bottom right corner will give high readings for both axes.

Note: In E-Logic releases before V1.10.0, the X and Y axes are incorrectly labelled. In V1.10.0 and later, he axis labelled as X is the horizontal axis, and the axis labelled as Y is the vertical axis.

Due to an error in the hardware design, this terminal does not perform any useful function, and should not be connected. The E-Plex output will always read as zero.
