Self-Test Status
The DPU1500R provides continuous self-testing of its power supply voltages, its memory elements and digital signal
processor and its program execution. In the event of a system failure, the protective functions are disabled and the
Self-Check Alarm contacts are actuated. Except for a “processor stalled” condition, review the PASS/FAIL status of
these self-test elements by using the man-machine interface (MMI). Normal status is indicated by a green NORMAL
STATUS light (LED) and system failure is indicated by the red FAIL STATUS light (or by the green NORMAL STATUS
light not being lit in the case of a loss of control power).
Self-Test Failures are recorded as a decimal number in the Operations Record. After converting this number to binary,
the binary bit pattern indicates the Self-Test Failure or Editor Access Status involved. The 1s in the bit pattern indicate
where a failure has occurred. Count from the right of the bit pattern (starting with zero) to the position where a "1"
occurs. Compare that bit position with Table 7-1 to reveal the failure. See the examples on page 7-6 for further explanation.
If the self-test fails, the DPU1500R is no longer providing protection. Replace the unit as soon as possible.
