Resolution
| If the LED blinks green | The product is functioning normally. It blinks slow, approximately one second on, then one second off. |
| If the LED is red and blinking slowly | In most cases, incorrect wiring will cause the STATUS LED to blink RED (slowly). However, a power factor lower than 0.5 could cause the LED to blink this way, even if the unit is installed properly. |
| If the LED is red and blinking quickly | CT’s maximum current rating has been exceeded |
| If the LED does not blink | Check fuses and voltage connections. STATUS LED should blink regardless of CTs, Modbus connections, and DIP switch settings. |
| If the LED does not blink. | When the unit is wired on the load side of an adjustable frequency drive and the LED does not blink, the unit’s thermal fuse could be blown. The unit must not be installed on the load side of an adjustable frequency drive. |
