Unit is manually switched off using
the front panel RF ON switch, or dis-
abled by a serial command or auto
shutdown by an alarm condition.
NOTES:
1. RS-485 serial alarm will follow LED status.
2. The appropriate status LED shall turn off indicating which voltage is out of its range.
3. When overvoltage is detected:
a) MCPA shall shut down (disable)
b) Turn on red DC Fail LED
c) Set flag for DC Fail alarm
4. When overpower is detected:
a) MCPA shall shut down (disable)
b) Turn on Over Pwr LED
c) Set flag for Over Pwr alarm
d) The MCPA module uses an RMS power detector to determine the overpower fault.
