Troubleshooting Procedure, continued

System Status

2. Determine the system status. For most problems, one or more alarm

and status LEDs will be illuminated. The controller default screen
indicates system voltage and current, the system mode (i.e., FLOAT
or EQUALIZE), and the number of alarms and/or warnings present.

If the screen is blank, but alarm and status LEDs are illuminated,
call technical support.


If the entire panel is blank, check the F3 basic power fuse (Figure
12-3). Verify that the controller is getting power. If not, replace
fuse. If the display is still blank, call technical support.

Alarms Menu

3. If the default screen appears normal, press the MENU button. The

main menu appears with “Alarms” blinking. Press ENTER to
obtain the Alarms menu. Additional data appears that will help to
identify the problem.

Troubleshooting

Tables

4. Based on the information presented by the alarm LEDs, select the

appropriate table from the list below:
