Hello-

Using a KP12 panel- 4 channels in use- the LEDs on the channels scramble after the panel is in use for a few hours, i.e., channel names become illegible. Any thoughts? Thanks!

This is an intercom controller, right? I doubt you'll find
any expertise in this newsgroup. Probably best to contact
RTS. I suspect that the answer is "It's broken - send it in
for repair."

If you have two of them, swap the LED boards between the two and see if the
problem follows the LED board or not.

When you have identified the board, using a soldering iron or hot air tool
to heat up components until you can make the problem happen will let you
identify the source of the problem if it's a heat-related intermittent.

This sort of thing is apt to be noise on a data line... bad capacitors and
cold solder joints are some of the more popular sources.
