7.2.2 Relay self-tests

7.2.2.1 Description
The relay performs a number of self-test diagnostic checks to ensure device integrity. The two types of self-tests (major
and minor) are listed in the following tables. When either type of error occurs, the Trouble LED Indicator turns on and a
target message displays. All errors record an event in the event recorder. Latched errors can be cleared by pressing the
key, providing the condition is no longer present.
RESET
Major self-test errors also result in the following:
• The critical fail relay on the power supply module de-energizes
• All other output relays de-energize and are prevented from further operation
• The front panel In Service LED indicator turns off
• A RELAY OUT OF SERVICE event is recorded
To view error messages in EnerVista software:
