Control Panel Basic Troubleshooting
8.1
Introduction
MJ-X
L
Control Panel service is primarily accomplished at
the factory. However, certain basic procedures can be
accomplished in the field. This chapter outlines a set of
procedures whose major objectives are to:
1.
Ensure that the fault is inside the MJ-X
L
(and not in
external connections or connected equipment).
2.
Ensure that the fault is not due to improper jumper
arrangements or some other user-correctable condi-
tion.
3.
Determine whether the fault can be locally repaired
(e.g., by replacing a fuse or the Neutralite indicator).
Troubleshooting approaches depend upon the problem.
Among other indicators, you should consider:
•
Visual review of the unit.
•
Alert messages (see Table 8.1 below).
8.2
Limited Testing
8.2.1
Visual Inspection
Check:
•
Power and Sensing fuses
•
External Source fuse (if External Source Terminals are
used to power the unit)
•
Fuse connectors not mated properly
•
Jumpers not in their correct positions
•
Terminal Strip connectors not mated properly
•
Terminal Strip connector jumpers missing or screws
not tightened properly

mens PT & D representative.

Alert Messages
Alert Name
What to Check
Low Current
Check E1 and C2 wiring. Check calibration on the Current inputs.
Auto Inhibit
This alert does not indicate a fault condition. It indicates that Automatic Inhibit has been activated (either via the
communications link or via the Automatic Inhibit Input terminals
Tap Track Error
May indicate a temporary fault condition (failure to detect a transition on one of several input lines.) Check PDS sig-
nals J, K, U10 and U12.
Neutral Sig. Err
May indicate a temporary fault condition (failure to detect a transition on one of several input lines.) This alert could
also indicate a problem with the Neutralite
input signal. Check the Neutral (PDS-U12) input.
Tap Pos ????
May indicate a temporary fault condition (failure to detect a transition within the allowed time period on one of sev-
eral input lines.) Check the Neutral (PDS-U12) and Operations Counter (PDS-U10) inputs.
Low PT Thresh
This alert does not necessarily indicate an MJ-X
L
fault condition. Check to see whether this alert condition goes
away when both U2 and P2 are above the PT Threshold.
Overcurrent
This alert does not (normally) indicate an MJ-X
L
fault condition. Ensure that this Alert goes away when an in-range
current (0-200 mA) is applied at C2/E1.
NV RAM Reset
May indicate a temporary fault condition. If condition appears repeatedly, replace the unit.
Low Battery
Indicates that it is time to replace the Lithium Battery. If condition persists after a good battery is installed, check
that the battery was installed properly. If fault persists, consult the factory.
High Voltage
May indicate a temporary system fault condition. If condition persists when in-range voltages (90-140 VAC) are
applied to both PDS-U2 and PDS-P2 inputs, perform calibration.
Not in Auto
Indicates that Remote/Auto/Manual switch is in Manual.
R Limit Reached,
L Limit Reached
These alerts indicate that the tap position has reached or exceeded the pre-set threshold. These alerts may occur
during normal operation due to system conditions. If these alerts occur when system conditions do not warrant it,
their occurrence could indicate an MJ-X
L
failure. Verify that the MJ-X
L
can automatically raise and lower the tap
position.
Self Test Fault
This alert indicates a failure of one or more MJ-X
L
self tests. Consult your Siemens representative for instructions.
