Alarms & troubleshooting

AC_FAIL (AC Mains Failure / Phase Loss)
Controller Red ALARM LED solid ON; Rectifier green AC LED OFF, yellow ALARM LED solid ON
Upstream grid power outage, AC distribution circuit breaker trip, loose input terminal connection, or phase voltage dropped below 80VAC
1. Measure AC phase-to-neutral and phase-to-phase voltages to confirm levels are within 85VAC–290VAC; 2. Inspect upstream input breakers and SPD disconnectors; reset if tripped after clearing faults; 3. Check and torque AC terminal connections on the NetSure shelf; 4. If AC voltage is nominal but specific modules report phase loss, hot-swap the affected rectifier module.
RECT_HVSD (Rectifier DC Output Overvoltage Lockout)
Faulty rectifier red FAULT LED solid ON; Controller panel shows MAJOR/CRITICAL alarm
Internal PWM regulation loop failure, active current sharing loop malfunction, or external DC voltage spike triggering hardware HVSD latch (>59.5VDC)
1. Unseat the latched rectifier module, wait 2 minutes for internal capacitors to discharge, and reseat to reset the hardware lockout; 2. If HVSD recurs upon reboot, measure DC bus voltage using a calibrated multimeter; 3. Access controller menus to verify float and boost charge setpoints do not exceed limits (normally <58.5VDC); 4. If bus voltage is normal but the unit locks immediately, replace the damaged rectifier.
DC_LOW_LLVD (DC Low Voltage & Load Disconnect)
Controller red CRITICAL LED flashing; Buzzer ON; Cabinet LLVD contactor open status indicated
Prolonged mains outage resulting in battery depletion below threshold (typically 44.0VDC), triggering LLVD contactor disconnection to protect non-critical loads and battery life
1. Deploy an emergency mobile diesel generator to restore AC power immediately; 2. Ensure rectifiers power up and deliver charge current to raise DC bus voltage; 3. When bus voltage recovers above the reconnect threshold (typically >48.0VDC), verify LLVD contactor reclosure; 4. If the contactor fails to pick up automatically, test controller relay driver outputs and contactor coil resistance.
COMM_FAIL (Rectifier CAN Bus Communication Failure)
Controller yellow MAJOR LED solid ON; Affected rectifier yellow ALARM LED flashing
Loose backplane CAN bus flat cable, open terminal resistor (120 Ohm), damaged transceiver in rectifier, or module slot addressing conflict
1. Verify integrity of CAN communication cables interconnecting controller and subrack backplane; 2. Measure resistance between CAN_H and CAN_L with power off (nominal value ~60 Ohms with two 120 Ohm terminators); 3. Swap the reporting module into an alternate slot to isolate backplane pin fault vs. module CAN transceiver fault; 4. Reseat controller module or execute software bus scan via NCU web interface.
FAN_FAIL (Rectifier Fan Blocked / Tachometer Fault)
Rectifier yellow ALARM LED blinking or red FAULT solid ON; Output current derated automatically
Severe dust accumulation blocking rectifier air inlet filter, physical blockage of fan blades, bearing seizure, or fan tachometer circuit failure
1. Visually inspect the front air grill of the rectifier and remove dust, lint, or physical obstructions; 2. Hot-extract the module and verify if the fan rotor spins freely without mechanical resistance; 3. Clean the internal heatsink airflow tunnel using dry compressed air; 4. Re-insert the module; if the speed sensor alarm persists, replace the fan sub-assembly or replace the entire rectifier module.
