Troubleshooting
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
automatic faults
Clear automatically if the fault condition goes away,
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.
