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.

Voltage Monitor
fault
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.
Blink followed by an off period
Analog subsystem fault

vSense
Two Blinks

Current Monitor
fault
If the current monitor inputs cannot be read the I2T trip detection
is disabled. Current will continue to be reported on the NMEA bus
but it may be incorrect.
Blinks followed by an off period
Analog subsystem fault - iSense
Three Blinks

Analog GPI fault
If the analog GPIs cannot be read, any actions programmed in the
Configuration Data Base based on analog GPIs are disabled.
