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 Xanbus-enabled
	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.
