Troubleshooting
You can use this chapter as a diagnostic tool to aid in the troubleshooting of 
the DataSite configured panel. A table and a step-by-step guide are provided.
The assumption has been made that the DataSite configured panel had been 
properly installed and operating prior to the occurrence of a fault.
Troubleshooting requires a clear definition of the problem based upon the 
system fault symptoms. Defining the problem clearly and knowing the system 
status or operating conditions prior to the problem will narrow the scope of 
the troubleshooting. For example, ask questions such as the following:
•
Was the system operating normally before the fault occurred?
•
Were the batteries charged?
•
Was there adequate sunlight for the solar panel?
Field Repairs and 
Replacement Procedures
Before servicing the DataSite configured panel, remove all power sources and 
ensure the environment is clear of all hazards including explosive gases. 
Service on the DataSite configured panels should be performed by personnel 
familiar with the DataSite configured panel and its functionality. Read the 
DataSite Installation Instructions, publication 
, in its entirety
before servicing the panel or field supplied components connected to it.
ATTENTION
Troubleshooting in a hazardous location must be done by a 
qualified field personnel. Additional procedures may be 
required depending on the location and the presence of a 
hazardous atmosphere. Refer to NFPA 70B, Recommended 
Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance for Servicing 
Guidelines.
IMPORTANT
Replacement of DataSite configured panel parts must be 
completed by a qualified person. Installation of a replacement 
component other than those specified is not recommended and 
will violate the Class I Div. 2 panel listing. For proper 
functionality, components should only be replaced with 
Rockwell approved replacement components.
