LED
Indication
Possible Problem(s)
D1:
AC INPUT
Power LED
LED is OFF
• The AC INPUT power source is not turned on.
• The AC INPUT cable is not connected or it is wired wrong.
• The AC Breaker on the rear panel is OFF.
• The AC INPUT voltage is either too low or too high.
LED is a STEADY
GREEN and not a
PULSING GREEN.
MPC is instead
running off the
optional DC INPUT
• The AC INPUT voltage is within its proper range but the MPC is not
selecting it for its source of power.
• The AC INPUT voltage and the total load power may exceed the
power derating curves given earlier in this Guide.
• The AC INPUT cable may have too much series resistance. Thicker
wire should be used.
D0:
DC INPUT
Power LED
LED is OFF
• The optional DC INPUT is not available on this unit.
• The DC INPUT power source is not turned on.
• The DC INPUT cable is not connected or it is wired wrong.
• The DC INPUT cable is connected to the DC source with the
wrong polarity.
• The DC INPUT voltage is either too low or too high
• The DC INPUT cable may have too much series resistance. Thicker
wire should be used.
A0:
DC OUTPUT
Power LED
LED is OFF
• The MPC is OFF and needs to be turned ON.
LED is AMBER
• The DC Output load is higher than 1250 W.
• The DC Output is shorted within the cable or a load.
• Some other source of power is connected to the DC OUTPUT.
LED is RED
• The MPC has been turned OFF, but due to a malfunction within the
MPC it is still running and providing an DC OUTPUT voltage.
• Some other source of voltage is connected to the DC OUTPUT and
is powering it when the MPC is not
B0 – B3:
LOAD POWER
LEDs
B3 is BLINKING RED
• Total MPC load power is greater than or approaching 1250 W. The
MPC may still be delivering its specified output voltage because the
load power is not high enough to trigger the power limit circuitry.
B0 – B3 are all OFF
• No power is being delivered to the load.
• The MPC is OFF and needs to be turned ON.
• The loads or output cables are not connected.
• The loads are all turned off.
• The loads are simply not drawing any appreciable power at the time.
