3. Troubleshooting
3.1 Error during commissioning

3.1.1 The AUMATIC (Bluetooth device) cannot be found

Ò Check distance between computer and AUMATIC.
Range approx. 10 m. Reduce distance.
Ò Check the AUMATIC power supply.
The AUMATIC must be switched on.

3.1.2 The connection/registration of the AUMATIC (Bluetooth device) fails

Ò Check Bluetooth password.

Ò Respect writing in upper or lower case.

3.1.3 The COM-AC software cannot establish communication to the AUMATIC

Ò Use an up-to-date COM-AC software version.

The latest COM-AC software can be downloaded from the Internet:
www.auma.com in the Support/Software section.
Ò Use the Online help of the COM-AC software.
Click the help button to start the Online help.
Ò Are you using the correct COM port?
When connecting to a device equipped with an integral Bluetooth
interface, the COM port can be requested via the Bluetooth device wiz-
ard. You must enter the outgoing COM port into the COM-AC.
Note Windows automatically assigns COM ports. The COM port is automati-
cally incremented by one for each new connection. Should connection
problems occur between the COM-AC and the actuator, please use
COM ports between 1 and 10.
The computer COM ports can be modified via the system control (sys-
tem/hardware/device manager).
When connecting via BlueFRITZ! USB, you may request the COM
port clicking the BlueFRITZ stick

and then under Properties > General:
