W O R K I N G P R O P E R L Y

If the Stop push button tests okay, go to Step 11.

10.If the Stop push button is not pressed in time, or if the push button is not working correctly, the display shows:

W O R K I N G P R O P E R L Y

If the Stop push button is not working correctly, replace the push button.

11.When the Stop push button tests okay, press Parame- ter Select to exit the Remote Pendant tests. Use the Right/Increase or Left/Decrease push button to access another test, or stop the diagnostics program.

O.Current Detect Test

This procedure tests the operation of the circuitry that detects output current flow.

1.When the repeating test displays are shown (see Sec- tion 7-2C), press Right/Increase or Left/Decrease until the display shows:

2.Press Parameter Select. The display scrolls through the following two displays:

P U T S H O R T C I R C U I T

3.Connect a suitable cable across the output terminals. The microprocessor control sends a reference current through the cable when Right/Increase is pressed.

4.Press Right/Increase. If the current detect circuitry is working correctly, the display shows:

C U R R E N T D E T E C T I S W O R K I N G P R O P E R L Y

If the current detect circuitry tests okay, go to Step 6.

5.If the current detect circuitry is not working correctly, the display shows:

If the current detect circuitry is not working correctly, contact the nearest Factory Authorized Service Station/Service Distributor.

6.When the current detect circuitry tests okay, press Pa- rameter Select to exit the test. Use the Right/Increase or Left/Decrease push button to access another test, or stop the diagnostics program.

P.Input Contactor Test

This procedure tests the circuitry that detects an input contac- tor closure.

1.When the repeating test displays are shown (see Sec- tion 7-2C), press Right/Increase or Left/Decrease until the display shows:
