Fault Types
There are three types of fault messages: automatic faults, manual faults, and escalating automatic faults. Table 3 describes how they differ in their behavior and how you can respond to them when they appear on the SCP.
Table 1 Fault Types And Behaviors
Fault type | Behavior |
|
|
Automatic faults | Clear automatically if the fault condition that |
| generated the message goes away. You can also |
| acknowledge automatic faults without waiting for |
| them to clear automatically. |
Manual faults | Require you to clear them by: |
| • selecting Clear Faults on the Main Freedom SW |
| menu or on the menu for the |
| device that generated the fault (if the fault |
| condition still exists, the fault message reappears) |
| • correcting the condition that caused the fault. |
Escalating | Clear automatically if the fault condition goes away, |
automatic faults | just like an automatic fault. |
| However, if an escalating automatic fault occurs |
| several times within a defined time period, the |
| escalating automatic fault becomes a manual fault, |
| requiring user intervention. For example, if an AC |
| Overload fault occurs three times in five minutes, it |
| will no longer clear itself and become a manual fault. |
| Then you must identify the problem, correct the fault |
| condition, and clear the fault. |
