Alarms & troubleshooting

AC_FAIL

Controller CRITICAL Red LED solid ON; Rectifier AC green LED OFF, Yellow Protection LED solid ON

Mains utility outage, upstream AC input circuit breaker tripped, or AC phase voltage fell below 80VAC cutoff threshold.

1. Measure phase-to-phase and phase-to-neutral voltages at the system AC input terminals using a True-RMS DMM; 2. Verify position of system input breakers and upstream distribution panels; 3. Confirm standby generator start and ATS transfer operation; 4. Inspect upstream surge protective devices (SPD) for short-circuit failures triggering circuit interruptions.

DC_VOLT_LOW

Controller MAJOR Yellow or CRITICAL Red LED illuminated, audible buzzer active

Prolonged battery discharge following AC failure, multiple rectifier module dropouts, or total load current exceeding system plant capacity.

1. Check incoming AC status and mobilize emergency mobile generators if grid power cannot be promptly restored; 2. Validate controller DC float/boost output setpoints and low voltage thresholds (default 45V); 3. Verify healthy online status of all rectifiers and replace faulted modules; 4. Prepare manual shedding of non-essential load breakers prior to reaching terminal BLVD disconnect.

RECT_FAIL

Faulted Rectifier Module Red 'Fault' LED solid ON; Supervision Unit MAJOR Yellow LED illuminated

Internal PFC circuit breakdown, DC/DC resonant stage overcurrent lockout, auxiliary auxiliary supply failure, or cooling fan stall causing thermal trip.

1. Note LED fault patterns and read specific error codes in the controller active alarm tree; 2. Check front intake grilles and rear exhausts for dust accumulation obstructing airflow; 3. Unlatch and extract the module from the slot, allow DC capacitors to discharge for 2 minutes, then firmly reseat it; 4. If the red Fault LED persists, internal component hardware damage has occurred; swap in a functional spare module.

BATT_TEMP_HIGH

Controller WARNING Yellow LED illuminated; abnormal temperature displayed on screen

Battery room HVAC air conditioning failure, ambient temperatures exceeding 45°C, or internal cell thermal runaway driven by shorted plates.

1. Inspect thermal conditions and operating health of battery room air conditioning units; 2. Perform an infrared thermal imaging scan of each cell casing to identify hotspots; 3. Ensure the controller temperature sensor probe is securely mounted to cell casing and not contacting heat-generating hardware; 4. If physical battery casing swelling is detected or temperatures exceed 55°C, open the battery string breaker immediately to avoid catastrophic rupture.

BLVD_ACT

Controller CRITICAL Red LED solid ON, continuous audible buzzer, main battery contactor physically opened

Battery string discharged to critical terminal cutoff limit (e.g., 43.2VDC) during prolonged mains blackout; contactor forcibly decoupled to preserve cells.

1. Do not manually force contactor engagement; 2. Restore utility AC power or connect mobile generation sets to the system input; 3. Upon AC energization, rectifiers will initialize, bootstrap, and re-establish the primary DC bus; 4. Once bus voltage exceeds the reconnection threshold (typically >48VDC), the controller will automatically re-energize the BLVD contactor and initiate controlled current-limited battery recharge.
