Operation
The MiniDySC is fully automatic and requires no user intervention for normal 
operation.
Applying Power
1.
Before applying power to the MiniDySC, ensure that all input/output 
wiring including grounding has been completed and that the wiring access 
cover is on and screwed down.
2.
The load should be connected prior to performing system checks.
3.
Apply power, note that the green “Normal” LED will be illuminated.
4.
Verify that the output (load) voltage is present and within nominal rating.
5.
During normal operation the green LED will remain on.
NOTICE: Cycling input power in the sequence OFF--ON--OFF--ON within a one minute period will 
cause a "Inverter Limit Cycle Timeout" alarm. In such case, the red LED will blink and sag 
correction will be inhibited for one minute (the condition will automatically reset after one 
minute).
Alarm LED Flash Sequence
The MiniDySC continuously monitors its condition to help ensure reliable 
operation. Status is provided by two front panel indicators, a green Normal LED 
and a red Alarm LED. The green Normal LED will be lighted under normal 
operating conditions. Events that may affect the ability of the MiniDySC to 
protect the load will activate the Alarm LED. Conditions that the user can 
correct, such as an overload condition, will be indicated by an encoded series of 
red LED flashes. The flash code is repeated after a two second pause for as long as 
the condition persists. User correctable Alarm conditions are listed in 
For any other Alarm code, or a constant series of rapid flashing, consult 
Rockwell Automation Technical Support.

Static switch heatsink temperature was greater than maximum rating.
• Verify ambient temperature is within specification 
• Check for damaged fans 
• Check for dirty or obstructed air vents.
