morning linc error messages

I now get these error messages every xx minute:

"name of morning line" off; failed (PowerLinc not in module's database -- try the Define and Sync process in the device dialog)
for both of my morning linc AFTER i did a sync:

Code: Select all

and :

Code: Select all

Error                           "doorMorningLincBack" off; failed (PowerLinc not in module's database -- try the Define and Sync process in the device dialog)
   Error                           "doorMorningLinc" off; failed (PowerLinc not in module's database -- try the Define and Sync process in the device dialog)

still can can lock the doors, but not unlock

so everything started after I did a sync. before it was ok

Try putting the MorningLinc into linking mode first then pressing the Send PowerLinc Button Press button in the main device dialog. That might get the linkage correct. If not you might have to factory reset it then do the full define/sync again.

And the fact that this occurred makes me think the flash memory in the module might be going bad. That error means it lost its link to the PowerLinc and thus won't accept some commands (like unlock).

yes .. read the manual helps.

but it is difficult to find
