Recover From Fatal Errors
Fatal error codes generally indicate a malfunction of the regulator board. If
cycling input power does not remove the error, replace the 8720MC-RPS unit.

Troubleshoot the
8720MC-RPS Unit
Follow these preliminary system checks and flow charts to track the
8720MC-RPS unit powerup sequencing.
Preliminary System Checks
Follow these steps to verify that the 8720MC-RPS unit was installed correctly.
1.
Turn OFF input power to the 8720MC-RPS unit and wait until
POWER status indicator is OFF.
2.
Verify that the DC-bus voltage is zero and that the DC-bus capacitors
are completely discharged.
3.
Make the following checks:
• Connectors not seated properly
• Loose wire terminations to connectors
• Input power voltage within tolerance
• Verify that all sources of electrical noise (relays, solenoid-valves, and
magnetic brakes, for example) are provided with surge suppressors.
• Installation instructions were followed correctly
