• Check that the external power source

supplying power to unit is energized

• Check that the circuit breaker or switch (if

appropriate) feeding the PX3 is turned “on”

Phase status lights
are orange, indicating
40–75% protection

Phase status lights
are red, indicating
<40% protection

• Check the cables connecting the door-

mounted devices to the suppression module .

Exercise caution as High Voltage is present
on door mounted PCBs

• If all of above are O .K ., contact factory
• If breaker is tripped, use a portable Diagnostic Test Set (DTS-2) to verify unit

integrity before resetting the breaker

Portable Diagnostic Test
Set (Current Technology

Model DTS-2) indications
