FINCH II-6W Stuck in Compartment 6

FINCH II-6W is stuck in compartment 6, displaying five dashed lines, even with fewer than six compartments. To resolve this, you must program the FINCH II-6W.

Issue: FINCH II-6W is stuck in compartment 6, displaying five dashed lines, even with fewer than six compartments.

Cause: This indicates no transmitter is connected to compartment 6 or there is a communication error.

Solution: The FINCH II-6W is pre-programmed for a 6-compartment setup. If your system has fewer compartments, you must reprogram the FINCH II-6W to match your configuration. For example, if you have four compartments, you can program the FINCH II-6W to recognize only these four, which makes the Finch ignore compartments 5 and 6.

1. Obtain the Finch programming kit
2. Connect the kit:
   1. Wire the programming kit cables to the FINCH II-6W and your computer according to the wiring diagrams provided: Programming Kit 1-Page
