DISTURBANCE 

LED is ON

 

A.

 Check if PRIMARY SOURCE HEALTHY LED is ON 

B. 

Check if SECONDARY SOURCE HEALTHY LED is ON 

C. 

Check if SYNCHRONIZATION LEDs are ON 

D. 

Check if TVSS ALARM LED is OFF 

E. 

Check if RETRANSFER OFF LED is OFF  

F. 

Check if MANUAL LED is OFF

 

OVERCURRENT

 LED is ON 

A

. Check with clamp meter if the output current of STS in all phases 

is correct (notice crest factor of output current) 

B.

 Switch off some load

 

OVERTEMP

 LED is ON 

A.

 Check if air ventilation in the cabinet is sufficient 

B

. Check if each fan in STS is working 

C.

 Check with clamp meter if the output current of STS in all phases 

is correct (notice crest factor of output current). After restoring right 

condition (nominal load), heatsink temperature drops down below 

sensor deactivation level (hysteresis). It takes about 1 hour time. 

During that time OVERTEMP LED is on.

 

TVSS ALARM

 LED is ON 

Check if any of transient voltage surge suppressors fuses are burnt 

and replace them with new ones  

RETRANSFER OFF

 LED is ON 

Check position of RETRANSFER button – turn it into ON position 

(button is pushed) 

MANUAL 

LED is ON 

Check position of OPERATION button – turn it into AUTOMATIC 

position (button is pushed) 

SYNCHRONIZATION 

LEDs are 

OFF 

A.

 Check phase order in both inputs X01 and X02 

B. 

Check phase delay in right phases between voltages in both 

supplying sources 

 

FAILURE 

LED is ON

 

A.

 Check if OVERCURRENT LED is off 

B.

 Check if OVERTEMP LED is off 

C.

 Press RESET button to remove memorized alarm 

D.

 Check PRIMARY FUSES and their indication switches 

E.

 Check STS OUTPUT FUSES and their indication switches
