Troubleshooting Procedures (Sheet 1 of 2)
Symptom/Cause
Diagnosis/Solution
Dark Front Panel
Power is off.
Verify that substation battery power is operational.
Input power is not present.
Verify that power is present at the rear-panel terminal strip.
Blown power supply fuse.

Poor HMI contrast.
Press and hold
ESC
for two seconds. Press
Up Arrow
and
Down Arrow
pushbuttons to adjust contrast.
Status Failure Notice on Front Panel
Self-test failure.
See
for guidance on the specific failure type.
The OUT108 relay control output b contacts will be closed if you programmed NOT HALARM
to OUT108.

System Does Not Respond to Commands
NOTE:
If Port setting PROTO := PMU, that serial port will not respond to ASCII commands. Additionally, a PROTO := PMU port will not respond to any
messages when Global setting EPMU := N.
No communication.
Confirm cable connections and types. If correct, type
<Ctrl+X> <Enter>
. This resets the termi-
nal program.
Communications device is not con-
nected to the system.
Connect a communications device.
Incorrect data speed (baud rate) or
other communications parameters.
Configure your terminal port parameters to the particular relay port settings. Use the front panel
to check port settings (see
).
Incorrect communications cables.
Use SEL communications cables, or cables you build according to SEL specifications (see
Serial Communication on page 15.2
).
Communications cabling error.
Check cable connections.
Handshake line conflict; system is
attempting to transmit information, but
cannot do so.
Check communications cabling. Use SEL communications cables, or cables you build accord-
ing to SEL specifications (see
Serial Communication on page 15.2
).
System is in the XOFF state, halting
communications.
Type
<Ctrl+Q>
to put the system in the XON state.
Terminal Displays Meaningless Characters
Data speed (baud rate) is set incorrectly.
Check the terminal parameters configuration (see
Serial Communication on page 15.2
Terminal emulation is not optimal.
Try other terminal types, including VT-100 and VT-52 terminal emulations.
System Does Not Respond to Faults
Relay is set improperly.
Review the relay settings.
Improper test settings.
Restore operating settings.
