Driller Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Gentlemen, I now have a battery failure on that powered RIO module (of course) and only 9V on the board which makes sense. All the right lights are on (flashing red on RIO) fixed green on PSU (I removed the shroud). Can someone who knows please confirm that I need to replace the PSU module?

sixwheeledbeast Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 The SMPS will be likely be blown like above. You can't test more than in and out unless you open and they are not designed to be user serviceable. You could try power cycling everything and a new battery but most likely you need a new one.

Thanks SWB, so can I get hold of just the SMPS part or do I have to replace the whole thing? i was supposed to leave to go on holiday today, Sod’s law. Any way I could rig up a 12V 4Amp supply in the SMPS’s place temporarily? i guess the RS 485 bus would throw up an error if I did that.

Driller Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 For anyone encountering a similar problem, got a new powered RIO but will just try swapping out the power supply part at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 To be fair the newe power rios are not as solid as the old smart rios. It is something ive come across before Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Driller Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Reassuring to know it's not just me James! Swapped out just the power supply bit after removing the ribbon cables. It was fully compatible with the existing RIO main board and problem solved immediately, hopefully this one will last a bit longer than 2-3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
