Troubleshooting
An Alarm LED is Lit (Red)
In normal condition, the Alarm LED should never be lit.
However, when the Alarm LED is lit, it indicates that the corresponding power output port is put out of function by a hardware error, which prevents this port to power on or off.
If you see a lit Alarm LED, you should first disconnect the device connected with it and then try to troubleshoot by pressing several times its power button on the front-panel of
TK-RP08, to see if the Alarm LED still remains lit persistently.
If so, it indicates that this port is malfunctioning for good and need technical service from your local dealer.
When a port is currently scheduled with a Timer setting for later power on/off, its alarm LED (red) will be flashing for a reminder.
Also when you perform a firmware upgrade on
TK-RP08
, all the alarm LEDs will be flashing while it is still in process. In these conditions, flashing red LEDs do not indicate a problem.
Current Overloads Warning - A Flashing Numerical LED display (Red)
If the total current loads exceed 15 AMP-- the maximum allowable current loads of TK-RP08 --the numerical display of the current loads (Red) will be flashing. If you see the flashing Numerical LED display, it means TK-RP08 is now suffering form a current overloads. If that is the case, you should try to shutdown some devices to keep the current loads within its reasonable range.
Circuit Breaker Open Due to Current Overloads
If the total current loads exceed 15 AMP, the circuit breaker device might be activated to physically break off the internal circuit for safety and stop the function of TK-RP08. To restart the unit, just press the Power Reset button on the back panel.

Serial Command Set
Before you use the serial command …
(1) To use the serial commands for TK-RP08 control, you have to establish a HyperTerminal
connection between
TK-RP08
and the host PC, using a RS-232 cable for connection. Use the following parameters for HyperTerminal connection:
Bits per seconds: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: Hardware
(2) After your HyperTerminal session has been established, you have to hit the Enter key twice
to go into command mode, then you can input the serial commands within the HyperTerminal
window according to the following command usages ………………
Command usage notes:
1. The commands are NOT case-sensitive. That means you can use lower case in typing your commands! The commands does not require a strict double-digit entry of bank number
or port number (such as ON 01 03 – Power on bank 1 port 3) but can accept their single-
digit entries (such as ON 1 3), and also allow multiple blank spaces in between its
command parameters (such as ON 1 3).
2. When using the HyperTerminal, note that ScrollLock should not be ON. Otherwise, it will block you from entering commands. ScrollLock is OFF by default in HyperTerminal.
However, if you cannot type in commands, please check the ScrollLock status, which can be viewed on status bar at the bottom of your HyperTerminal window. If ScrollLock is ON, hit ScrollLock key again to relieve it.
