Alarms & troubleshooting

AC_FAIL (AC Mains Power Failure / Loss)
CSU ALM LED solid red, Rectifier IN LED off, Rectifier ALM LED solid red.
Mains utility outage, tripped AC circuit breaker, input phase loss, or AC voltage below rectifier operating threshold (<80VAC).
1. Measure line-to-line and phase voltages at the AC distribution box to verify grid supply.\n2. Inspect the ZXDU48 B900 AC input circuit breakers and surge protection breakers; reset if tripped.\n3. Check the AC surge protection device (SPD) window for failure or short circuit.\n4. Once AC supply is restored, verify that rectifier IN indicators return to solid green.
DC_HVSD (DC Bus Overvoltage Hardware Shutdown)
Faulty rectifier ALM LED solid red, RUN LED off, CSU displays Rectifier HVSD alarm.
Internal PWM loop failure, damaged voltage sampling circuit in rectifier, or bus voltage exceeding hardware threshold (59.5V DC), triggering self-lockout.
1. Unseat the flagged rectifier module and allow internal capacitors to discharge for 3 minutes.\n2. Measure the actual DC bus voltage with a DMM; verify CSU float (53.5V) and equalize (56.4V) settings.\n3. Re-seat the module and monitor startup. If it immediately triggers HVSD and locks out, replace the rectifier.\n4. Verify current sharing balance across remaining modules to ensure no runaway voltage condition.
LLVD_ACT (Load Low Voltage Disconnect Active)
CSU ALM LED solid red, audible buzzer active, LLVD DC contactor open/de-energized.
Prolonged AC mains outage causing battery discharge below threshold (default 44.0V DC), triggering LLVD contactor drop to shed non-critical loads.
1. Connect an emergency generator or restore AC utility power to bring rectifiers online immediately.\n2. If grid recovery is delayed, force emergency reconnect via CSU menu 'LLVD Manual Close' (closely monitor battery EOD limit).\n3. Measure individual cell voltages to identify defective or weak battery blocks draining the bank.\n4. Once DC voltage rises above re-engagement threshold (~50.0V DC), verify LLVD contactor automatically pulls in.
RECT_COMM_FAIL (Rectifier CAN Communication Loss)
CSU reports module offline/communication interrupted, Rectifier yellow ALM LED blinks (0.5Hz), green RUN stays on (autonomous mode).
Bent or oxidized CAN bus pins on backplane connector, loose ribbon cable to CSU, termination resistor fault, or damaged CAN transceiver chip.
1. Remove the module; inspect backplane guide pins and connectors for damage or dust, clean and firmly reseat.\n2. Check the communication cable harness between the subrack backplane and the CSU controller.\n3. Measure resistance between CAN-H and CAN-L across the bus with power isolated (nominal ~60Ω with two 120Ω terminators).\n4. Swap module into an adjacent known-good slot; if the issue stays with the module, replace its internal control board/rectifier.
RECT_FAN_FAIL (Rectifier Fan Blocked / Failure)
Rectifier ALM LED flashing red, module output current automatically derated to 50%, CSU displays Fan Alarm.
Severe dust clog on air intake, foreign matter jamming fan blades, tachometer wire broken, or fan drive circuit failure causing low RPM below threshold.
1. Visually check the front air intake and rear vents of the rectifier; clear dust filters and obstructions.\n2. Remove the module, manually spin the fan blades with an insulated tool to verify free bearing rotation.\n3. Reseat module and observe the high-speed startup self-test sequence.\n4. If the fan fails to spin or Tach alarm persists despite unobstructed blades, replace the fan assembly or entire rectifier.
