In case cables are connected incorrectly, the cables can be swapped. For more information contact the Micro-Vu support team.

Another potential issue could be a cable inserted too far into the green connector like shown in the following image:

If this is the case, press down the orange lever with a slotted screwdriver, remove and carefully reinsert the cable into the connector.

Power on the machine, launch InSpec and test if the VAS-500 measurement values are displayed.
