DIAGNOSTICS

VERSION NUMBER
The version number of the software is the first item shown in the DIAGNOSTICS menu. You will need this informa-

tion if you call for technical support.

BREAKER STATUS
You can check the status of each breaker from this menu item. You will see OFF, ON or NO RESPONSE. The latter

will be displayed if the breaker has been set to MAN at the panel, it is in the off or tripped positions, or the breaker is
not installed or is defective.

BREAKER TEST
You can test breakers directly from the Interface Module by using the BREAKER TEST function in the DIAGNOS-

TICS section. Use the

à or Ä buttons to select the breaker and then press OK. That breaker will be ‘flashed’ once.

That is if the breaker is off, it is turned on for approximately one second, then turned off again. If the breaker is al-
ready on, the opposite action takes place.
