The RP controller expansion modules support different modes that can be used for maintenance purposes.

The following maintenance modes are supported:

  • Offline maintenance mode

  • Online maintenance mode

The Status LED on the RP controller expansion modules indicates when the device is in maintenance mode, provided that the LED is configured in show status mode (default mode). For more information, see RP Controller Expansion Module LEDs .For more information, see RP Controller Expansion Sensor Module LED .

Offline maintenance mode

The device enters maintenance mode and goes offline when you configure the room bus address 0 for the device using its rotary switch.

Online maintenance mode

In online maintenance mode, the device will be online but without running any software other than what makes it possible to read diagnostics from the device and to upgrade the device.

For more information, see Configuring an RP Controller Expansion Module into Online Maintenance Mode .

To configure an RP controller expansion module into online maintenance mode

  1. Power off the RP controller expansion module by disconnecting the device from the RP-C room bus.

    For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .

  2. Configure the room bus address 0 for the device, by turning the rotary switch on the device.

  3. Power on the RP controller expansion module by connecting the device to the RP-C room bus.

    For more information, see Connecting RP Controller Expansion Modules to an RP Controller .

  4. Configure a unique room bus address, within the range supported by the RP-C controller model.

    For more information, see Configuring the Room Bus Address for an RP Controller Expansion Module .

    For more information, see Configuring the Room Bus Address for an RP Controller Expansion Sensor Module .

You can now read diagnostic log files from the device and upgrade the device with new firmware.
