I thought that was it, but I used it on another product and it worked.

I have no experience with the GHL system however I did read this. Perhaps it will help.
If all PAB connections have been made and power has been supplied to all devices at the PAB, the powerbar can be assigned. Therefore select menu item Assign devices in ProfiLux system menu Config PAB. The ProfiLux scans all devices connected at the PAB and afterwards the serial numbers of the found devices are displayed. Then select all the serials you want to assign to this ProfiLux and accept with the Return-key.
After this the switching outputs of the powerbar are available. Further information can be found at Description PAB.

Thanks. Not sure what the issue was. Just finished unplugging everything and re-plugging everything in. Working now. :confused:

The RED light indicates an active alarm.
If the alarm says "PAB-COM", that means one of the devices along the PAB-chain are no longer communicating with the head unit. It's tough to tell from the photo, but it looks like the yellow COM light on the powerbar is ON. If that's the case, then the PB is talking to the P4. If the light was OFF, then this was likely the source of the alarm.

PAB COM alarms are usually caused by things like:
- Loose cable connection at the PAB port
- Physically disconnected device along the PAB-chain
- Assigned PAB device has been powered OFF
I just thought I would post a question on this line because, I too can't get the PAB to work on the powerbar! My PAB light is not on. I have tried three different cables (all that worked with other devices) and I can't get it to light up. Any ideas? Thanks

Hey Bob. I know that this may sound crazy, but did you make sure to push the PAB into the power at until you heard it click? I had the same issue. It was almost as if something was moving up into the power bar when you put the cable in.
