Drop Trip
If the junction box detects that there is too much current being drawn on a drop
line, it will isolate that drop and keep the rest of the bus operating. The junction
box indicates which drop is in over-current protection by setting the drop LED
to constant red. Once the short/faulty device is removed the constant red will
blink OFF-RED, indicating that there was a fault. If the problem has been
rectified press the Reset button to remove the fault indication.
Device LED State Meainng
Off No current is being drawn. There is nothing on t he drop or the device is not
operational.
Green The device is operating in the allowed current band.
Red The drop is in over-current protection mode. The field device is faulty or the drop is
shorted.
Blinking off/red No current is being drawn, but the drop was previously in over-ciurrent
protection. This might indicate that the field device went faulty and then offline
or that a short has changed to an open circuit.
Blkinking green/red The device is operating in the allowed current band, but the drop was previously
in over-current protection. This might indicate an intermittent fault in the field
device or drop cable.
