ECS-204 

20A Power Conditioner & Sequencer

Troubleshooting 

Note: ALL TROUBLESHOOTING SHOULD BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN
Issue 1

 - Wiring Fault LED is illuminated. 

 

Possible Cause 

- AC Mains outlet is wired incorrectly.

 

Action Needed

 - Contact a certified electrician to inspect the building’s wiring.

Issue 2

 - No power to the AC outlets.

 

Possible Cause

 -   Circuit breaker has tripped due to excessive load. 

 

Action Needed

 - Remove one piece of equipment from the ECS-204, and push the breaker re-set tab located on the front panel.  

 

Note:

 We suggest first locating the highest power-consumer such as a power amplifier and disconnecting or turning down that  

 

unit. If the ECS-204 breaker continues to trip, relocating some of the gear may be required.

 

Issue 3

 - No power to the AC outlets, “Abnormal Voltage” indicator is illuminated, the Volt Meter is Flashing and you hear a buzzer 

from the unit.

 

Possible Cause 

- The AC Mains Voltage exceeded 132VAC or the voltage dropped below 101VAC.

 

Action Needed

 -  Measure the AC mains before the ECS-204. If the voltage is between 117VAC and 123VAC you may proceed to  

 

reset the ECS-204 by restarting the sequence. 

Note:

 It is important to have all equipment that was connected to that AC  

 

 

Mains Line inspected for proper operation. If the problem persists, contact your local power company for the cause of unstable 

 

AC line conditions.

Issue 4

 - Abnormal LED Flashing when you have power to all outlets.

 

Possible Cause

 -  The AC Mains Voltage exceeded 128VAC or the voltage dropped below 107VAC. 

 

Action Needed

 - The ECS-204 must be re-sequenced to turn off the LED. Measure the AC mains before the ECS-204. If the   

 

voltage is between 117VAC and 123VAC you may proceed to reset the ECS-204 by restarting the sequence. 

Note:

 It is  

 

 

important to have all equipment that was connected to that AC Mains Line inspected for proper operation. If the problem persists,  

 

contact your local power company for the cause of unstable AC line conditions.

Issue 5

 - AC Fault LED is Flashing, a buzzer is sounding and you have no power at any outlets.

 

Possible Cause

 - Although the Dual Clamping Suppression (DCS) circuit virtually assures protection from most transient voltage  

 

spikes and surges, nature has a way of occasionally creating electrical forces that are beyond the capabilities of any device to  

 

absorb without some degree of damage. In the rare instance that this occurs, the DCS circuit has been damaged during the    

 suppression. 

 

Action Needed

 - If this happens, the ECS-204 will shut off and the unit will need to be repaired or replaced. It is important to  

 

have all equipment that was connected to that AC Mains Line inspected for proper operation.
