Q-WIN
Troubleshooting Starting Issues

1 2 3 4 5 6

Check that port 80 is not is use. If you cannot use it or if Qwin and QSuite are on the same server, set Q-Win to use port 82. Check for power to the interface. Is Java installed? Is it the correct version? If not, uninstall the current version of java and reinstall QWin. Q-Win will install a working version of java. Check if an antivirus program is preventing the Q-Win service from starting. Verify that the license matches the interface serial. If getting a C++ error, turn off DEP for the QWIN.EXE. Go to Control Panel System Advanced Performance Settings Data Execution Prevention. Make QWIN.EXE an exception. This will require a restart.

TESTING
Wire Testing
IMPORTANT!! All cables should be securely fastened within 6 of the termination device. Information Cable Most units are connected to Qmatic systems with a cable of 4 single core wires (24 AWG) in the mains (should this read main?) lead. All units are connected parallel.
Wire No. 1 Power Supply to each unit (+): Wire No. 2 Ground (-): Wire No. 3 Output Signal: Wire No. 4 Input Signal: [solid white/green stripe] [solid green/white stripe] [solid white/orange stripe] [solid orange/white stripe]

Displays are normally connected to the system with modular cables via a Satellite Box.

Voltage Between Wire No. 2(-) and Wire No. 1(+)


Normal = 27-28 V Lowest = 22 V Not under (Is this correct terminology? Would Not to dip below be acceptable?) = 20 V

Voltage Between Wire No. 2(-) and Wire No. 3 (Output Signal) This signal pulses between 0 V and the Voltage established at Wire No. 1 (= Terminal Pin No. 1; Power Supply). Depending on the type of Voltage meter used, the reading can differ slightly, but should still be between 18-24 V. The voltage should never be under 10 V, which indicates that somewhere in the system, either the polarities have been mixed up, or one or more units have been damaged.

Voltage Between Wire No. 2(-) and Wire No. 4 (Input signal) This signal pulses between 0 V and the Voltage established at Wire No. 1 (Terminal Pin No. 1; Power Supply).

Qmatic Wiring Information Guide

The Voltage should never be under 10 V, which indicates that somewhere in the system, the polarities have been mixed up or one or more units have been damaged. Proper wiring ensures that a reliable function of the system is achieved. Two problems may arise when the number of units increases. 1. The first problem has to do with the total current consumption of the cable. When the current rises as more units are added, and the length of the cable is more than 50 m, the voltage drops in the cable. The voltage should not get below 20 V between Wire No. 1 and Wire No. 2. The failure can be seen as flickering figures, poor key response, etc. 2. The second problem is due to the capacitance (electrical transfer) between the wires in the cable. This problem only occurs when the total length of all cables is more than 1000 m or when a multi-core wire is used.
