FO or FS 

 

ECB channel tripped; channel x LED flashes 

 

 

 

This condition will usually mean that the breaker is unresponsive 
to the override switches and the green LED will either remain on 
or off depending on the fault. 

 

 

 

All three of these Analog subsystem faults are reported via unique blink codes using the red LEDs.  One or more 
blink codes are displayed on those LEDs which are not indicating a trip or ECB fault.  Blink codes are indicated by 
some number of fast blinks followed by an off period. The system cycles through the blink code for each fault 
which is present. 

 

If all three faults are present there will be a sequence of xix blinks and three pause, as in: blink - pause - blink blink 
- pause, blink, blink, blink - pause, which then repeats.

If the voltage monitor inputs cannot be read, the ECB fault 
detection described in the previous paragraph is disabled.  Voltage 
will continue to be reported on the NMEA bus but it may be 
incorrect.

If the current monitor inputs cannot be read the I2T trip detection 
is disabled.  Current will continue to be reported on the NMEA bus
