13. Troubleshooting guide

Symptoms

Action to be carried out

Expected results

1

Product is off, no 

LED is lit

Check for a voltage of 176 to 288 VAC on the supply terminals:

- Terminals 1-7 correspond to SOURCE I

- Terminals 1-7 correspond to SOURCE II

The "AUT" LED is lit (if the cover is 

closed)

2

The "Priority 

SOURCE 

Availability" LED 

does not come on

Check the following parameters:

• the type of network =>  3P (DIP Switch 1 on position A) 

1P (DIP Switch 1 on position B)

• frequency  

=>  50 Hz (DIP Switch 2 on position C) 

60 Hz (DIP Switch 2 on position D)

• the nominal voltage => with a multimeter, measure the voltage across the terminals and report the value on the 

potentiometer

The "Priority SOURCE Availability" 

LED is lit

Check the thresholds and hysteresis of rated voltages (∆U) and frequencies (∆F) and report them on the 

corresponding potentiometer

If using an Auto transformer - proceed as follows upon 1st switching on

• Step 1:  HIC4xxA must be connected to a three-phase + neutral network (4NBL) for setting the neutral position. 

Neutral position is detected upon first switching on

• Step 2:  Connect the autotransformers. Warning: Neutral must be connected on the same side as in step 1

How to reset the neutral position:

• Step 1: Open the cover

• Step 2: Set DIP Switch 1 from 3P to 1P

• Step 3: Set DIP Switch 1 from 1P to 3P

• Step 4: Close the cover

3

The "Emergency 

SOURCE 

Availability" LED 

does not come on

Check the following parameters:

• the type of network  =>  3P (DIP Switch 1 on position A) 

1P (DIP Switch 1 on position B)

• frequency 

=>  50 Hz (DIP Switch 2 on position C) 

60 Hz (DIP Switch 2 on position D)

• the nominal voltage =>  with a multimeter, measure the voltage across the terminals and report the value on the 

potentiometer 

The "Emergency SOURCE 

Availability" LED is lit

CAUTION:

 a generator operating off load can generate a Fr and a U lower than the nominal values:

Check the thresholds and hysteresis of rated voltages (∆U) and frequencies (∆F) and report them on the 

corresponding potentiometer.

If using an Auto transformer - proceed as follows upon 1st switching on 

•  Step 1: HIC4xxA must be connected to a three-phase + neutral network (4NBL) for setting the neutral position. 

Neutral position is detected upon first switching on.

• 

 Step 2: Connect the autotransformers. Warning: Neutral must be connected on the same side as in step 1

How to reset the neutral position:

• Step 1: Open the cover

• Step 2: Set DIP Switch 1 from 3P to 1P

• Step 3: Set DIP Switch 1 from 1P to 3P

• Step 4: Close the cover

4

The product 

remains switched 

off after the 

Priority SOURCE 

is lost

Check if voltage is between 176 to 288 VAC across the power supply terminals of emergency SOURCE:

- Terminals 1-7 correspond to the Emergency Source

The "AUT" LED is lit

In case of transformer/ Genset, check that FT timer (Main Failure Timer) has finished counting down.

• Use a stopwatch.

• Start the stopwatch when the product has lost its Priority SOURCE.

- Contact 73 - 74 must be closed after 60 s max (M-G application)

- GENSET run command = contact 73-74 closed

- GENSET stop command = contact 73-74 open

The Genset works and the LED 

"Emergency Source Disponibility" 

is lit

5

The product does 

not switch over 

after the Priority 

SOURCE is lost

Check that the product is not in manual mode:

• Automatic mode = cover closed

• Manual mode = cover open

The "AUT" LED is lit

Check that automatic operation has not been inhibited by an external order (terminals 207-210).

Check the status of led « Emergency SOURCE availability ». If it is off, refer to the symptom concerned (higher in the 

list) 

The "AUT" and "Emergency 

SOURCE Availability" LEDs are lit

In case of Transformer / Transformer, check the setting of FT timer (Main Failure Timer). The duration of this time 

delay is between 0 and 60 s. If necessary, use a stopwatch to check switching to SOURCE after FT countdown

At the end of the time delay, the 

product switches to mechanical 

position 0, and to emergency 

SOURCE

6

The product does 

not switch over 

when the Priority 

SOURCE is 

restored

Check that the product is not in manual mode:

• Automatic mode = cover closed

• Manual mode = cover open

The "AUT" LED is lit

Check that automatic operation has not been inhibited by an external order (terminals 207-210).

Check the state of the "Priority Source Availability" LED. If it is off, refer to the symptom concerned (higher in the list)

The "AUT" and "Emergency 

SOURCE Availability" LEDs are lit

Check the setting of RT timer (Main Return Timer). The duration of this delay is between 0 and 30 min. Use a 

stopwatch to check the switch to Priority SOURCE after the RT timer

At the end of the time delay, the 

product switches to mechanical 

position 0, and to priority SOURCE

Check that the "manual retransfer" function is not active*

• Retransfer mode activated = contact 207-208 closed

• Retransfer mode desactivated = contact 207-208 open

 

* if this function is not required

Contact 207-208 must be open to 

enable switching to priority SOURCE

7

Return to Priority 

SOURCE 

has been 

executed, but 

the Emergency 

Source (for 

a Generator) 

continues to 

operate

Check CDT timer (Cool Down Timer) has finished counting down - Fixed time delay: 4 min

• Use a stopwatch.

- Start the stopwatch when the product has switched over to the Priority SOURCE.

- Contact 73-74 must be open after time delay CDT has finished counting down

The GenSet switches off and led " 

Emergency SOURCE availability" 

is OFF”

Check that the product is not in automatic mode:

• Automatic mode = cover closed

• Manual mode = cover open

The "AUT" LED is lit

Check that automatic operation has not been inhibited by an external order (terminals 207-210).
