Alarms & troubleshooting

DC_OVP_LOCK (DC Output Overvoltage Lockout)
Power LED (Green) OFF, Fault LED (Red) Solid ON
Internal feedback loop malfunction or external surge causing DC bus voltage to exceed hardware threshold (>59.5V), triggering HVSD lockout
1. Unseat the rectifier from the shelf and wait 3 minutes for bus capacitors to discharge; 2. Verify system controller overvoltage settings match module specifications; 3. Re-seat module and monitor DC bus; replace rectifier if lockout reoccurs immediately.
AC_IN_FAIL (AC Mains Input Abnormal/Fail)
Power LED (Green) OFF, Protection LED (Yellow) Solid ON, Fault LED (Red) OFF
Mains grid outage, tripped input AC breaker, or line voltage outside operating limits (85VAC to 300VAC)
1. Measure AC voltage at the shelf backplane input terminals (nominal 85VAC–300VAC); 2. Check and reset corresponding AC feed circuit breaker on the ACDU panel; 3. Inspect module rear connector pins for thermal damage, arcing, or physical displacement.
OVER_TEMP (Module Thermal Derating / Shutdown)
Derating: Green and Yellow LEDs Solid ON; Thermal Shutdown: Green OFF, Yellow LED Solid ON
Ambient temperature exceeding +65°C, HVAC cooling failure, blocked front/rear air vents, or severe internal dust buildup
1. Inspect site HVAC system and verify ambient intake temperature is within -40°C to +75°C; 2. Clear dust and obstructions from front intake grilles and rear exhaust areas; 3. Clean internal heatsinks using low-pressure dry air; replace module if temperature sensor is defective.
FAN_FAIL (Cooling Fan Locked Rotor / Failure)
Power LED (Green) Flashing, Fault LED (Red) Solid ON
Mechanical obstruction in fan blades, failure of the internal fan driver circuit, or loss of tachometer feedback
1. Visually check fan intake for foreign objects; with power off, verify the fan spins freely by hand; 2. Reseat the module and verify if the fan spins at full speed during initial POST sequence; 3. If the fan remains stationary or alarm persists, replace the fan assembly or swap the rectifier.
CAN_COMM_FAIL (CAN-bus Communication Loss & Current Sharing Fault)
Power LED (Green) Solid ON, Protection LED (Yellow) Slow Flashing (0.5Hz)
CAN-H/CAN-L differential line open-circuit between module and supervisory controller (e.g., M530S/M830B), dirty gold finger pins, or missing 120Ω bus terminator
1. Access controller web/local GUI and check whether the rectifier ID is missing or in conflict; 2. Unseat rectifier, clean the backplane communication pins with contact cleaner, and firmly reseat; 3. Measure CAN bus resistance between CAN-H and CAN-L across shelf (should measure ~60Ω with both 120Ω terminators active).
