PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

CORRECTIVE ACTION

A. “ALARM” L.E.D. illuminated

1. See Section II - G: Status and Alarm 

Contact Wiring for proper status 

contact wiring.

2. One or more Power Modules not 

outputting current.

2. Verify Power Module is wired 

correctly. See Power Module 

Installation/ Operation manual to 

verify proper operation.

3. LVD in disconnect position. 

3a. Verify LVD switch is in the “AUTO” 

position.

3b. Check to see if battery voltage is 

below the LVD disconnect threshold. 

If so, remove load and recharge 

battery.

3c. Check to see if LVD disconnect 

voltage is set too high. See Section 

III-D for LVD adjustment procedure.

4. PFM load circuit breaker tripped. 

(Breaker is in mid-trip position. 

Note:

 Breaker will not activate 

the “ALARM” L.E.D. if manually 

switched into the off position.)

4. Identify cause of over-current 

condition and reset breaker.

B. LVD contactor rapidly cycles between 

open and closed

LVD out of adjustment.

See section III-D for LVD adjustment 

procedure.

1. Status contacts for one or more 

power modules or other monitored 

equipment mis-wired.

IV) TROUBLESHOOTING

C. LVD disconnects battery from load 

too soon-batteries not low.

1. Disconnect threshold set too high.

2. Large voltage drop between (+) or 

(-) battery terminal and BATTERY HOT 

input post.

3. Sudden voltage drop due to heavy 

intermittent load.

1. See section III-D for LVD  

adjustment procedure.

2. Shorten wire length and/or 

increase wire size. Check for loose 

connections.

3. Increase battery capacity or test 

and replace batteries if necessary.
