Skip ahead to the "Completing the Search" topic.

This option simply displays the last Earth Fault Search result. If there has been no search since the last system startup, or if the last search was aborted, the panel displays

"RESULT NOT AVAILABLE."

When a Location or IDNet Channel Search completes, all of the following occurs:

All slaves automatically reset.

The FACP turns off the Earth Fault Search trouble pseudo-point.

The panel displays the specific fault information.

The panel can only return one Earth Fault Search result at a time. If another fault exists, it can only be found via diagnostics after the first fault is cleared. Faults will continue to appear, one by one, until each one has been found and corrected.

IMPORTANT: Once you have been directed to an earth ground fault and corrected it, it is recommended that you restart the system (warm- or cold- start).

Continue to the next topic for a list of search results and their required actions.
