Faults and Warnings

Under certain conditions, the XW Auto Generator Start generates a fault
or warning message. These messages appear on the XW System Control
Panel.

Acknowledging
messages

When a fault or warning message appears, it will remain on the screen
until it is acknowledged by pressing Enter on the XW System Control
Panel. This action removes the message from the screen, but does not
clear the condition that caused the fault or warning.

Consult Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 for recommendations for resolving the
fault after it has been acknowledged.

Warnings that are in the form of a Yes/No question can be acknowledged
by pressing Enter for Yes and Exit for No.

Self-clearing
warnings

If unacknowledged, some warnings may clear themselves if the condition
that generated the message goes away. For example, if the XW Auto
Generator Start fails to start the generator, warning message W202
appears. However, if the generator starts on the next start try, the message
goes away.

Clearing faults

To clear active XW Auto Generator Start faults, highlight Clear Faults on
the XW Auto Generator Start menu and press Enter.

Multiple faults
and warnings

If several fault or warning messages occur before they can be
acknowledged or cleared, they are displayed together on a fault list or a
warning list. These lists contain messages from every Xanbus-enabled
device, not just the XW Auto Generator Start. Message details can be
selected and viewed from the fault list or warning list.

To view a message from a fault list or warning list:

1. On the list, use the navigation buttons to highlight the message to be

viewed.

2. Press Enter.

The complete message appears.

To return to the fault list or warning list, press Exit.

To continue to the menu for the device that caused the fault or warning
condition by pressing Exit.

Each time you return to the list after viewing a complete message, the
viewed message is removed from the list.

If you have left the fault list or warning list, you can view them at any
time from the System Settings menu.
