Alarms & troubleshooting

AC_FAIL (AC Input Abnormal / Mains Fail)
Green LED OFF, Amber LED solid ON
Mains blackout, AC input voltage <85VAC or >300VAC, upstream AC breaker tripped, or blown internal input fuse.
1. Measure L-N voltage at the rectifier AC inlet using a true-RMS DMM (nominal: 85–300VAC). 2. Verify upstream AC feed breaker and terminal torque in the distribution unit. 3. Reseat the rectifier into the subrack slot; if the issue persists with valid AC, replace the module.
OUT_OVP (DC Output Overvoltage Lockout / HVSD)
Red LED solid ON, Green LED OFF
Internal PWM loop failure or optocoupler feedback breakdown causing DC output to exceed the hardware HVSD threshold (>59.5VDC nominal), latching the unit off.
1. Unseat the module from the shelf for 60 seconds to discharge bus caps and reset the hardware latch, then reinsert. 2. Verify the DC bus voltage reading on the supervisory controller to ensure external voltage is not high. 3. If the red LED re-engages immediately upon powering, internal power components are damaged; replace the module.
MOD_OTP (Module Over-Temperature / Thermal Shutdown)
Amber LED blinking (derating) or Red LED solid ON (shutdown), Green LED OFF
Ambient temperature exceeding operational limits (>65°C), front air inlet/dust filter choked, or blocked exhaust causing heatsink temperature to exceed safety threshold (>95°C).
1. Inspect site air conditioning and intake ambient temperature (nominal operating range: -5°C to +45°C). 2. Clean dust and debris from the front intake grille, rear louvers, and cabinet filter mats. 3. Allow the module to cool below recovery threshold (~55°C); the unit should auto-recover. If not, inspect the internal NTC thermistor.
FAN_FAIL (Cooling Fan Stall / Tacho Failure)
Amber LED solid ON, Green LED ON (module operating derated)
DC brushless cooling fan seized by mechanical bearing wear, debris blocking fan blades, loss of tachometer signal, or disconnected fan wiring harness.
1. Withdraw the rectifier module and visually inspect the fan impellers for mechanical blockages; spin by hand to check bearing resistance. 2. Verify that the fan header is securely latched into the internal PCB receptacle. 3. If the fan fails to spin under load after clearing obstructions, replace the fan sub-assembly or the module.
CAN_COMM_ERR (CAN-bus Communication & Current Share Loss)
Amber LED slow blink (0.5Hz), Green LED solid ON
Oxidized or bent CAN-H/CAN-L connector pins on the backplane, ID address conflict from CSU, or missing 120Ω bus terminator, leading to autonomous current share collapse.
1. Check the supervisory controller (CSU) menu to verify if the module ID shows offline or communication lost. 2. Withdraw the module and clean the rear gold-finger blind-mate connector with isopropyl alcohol, then firmly reseat and latch it. 3. Measure CAN bus resistance with system powered down (nominal: ~60Ω across CAN_H and CAN_L with both 120Ω termination resistors installed).
