Monitoring Fault
For security purposes, the IDA8 is designed to monitor the connected equipments. When an error is
detected, a fault will be generated to inform the user. Then user can change the non-working equipment
quickly to make the system function correctly again.
There are two types of faults:
System Fault:
This sort of fault is about the internal error of the IDA8C/S. In most of cases, it is a hardware failure and
the board inside the device needs to be changed o repaired.
G.Fault:
The G.Fault LED lights up for mostly all faults.
