Troubleshooting Guide

Fault Indication
TIME SAVER Diagnostics remove the guesswork and provide diagnostic assistance at the touch of
a button in the unlikely event a trip should occur. By identifying the type of fault that has occurred,
troubleshooting time is improved and contractors can identify the trip cause faster. Should a trip code
be stored, the TEST button may be momentarily pressed and then released once rapidly to
re-initiate the LED blink pattern without tripping the circuit breaker.
TIME SAVER Diagnostics Instructions
The AFGF circuit breaker provides continuous fault protection. Should a fault occur during the indication
procedure, the AFGF circuit breaker will interrupt the fault and protect the circuit.
Step 1. Place circuit breaker in OFF position.
Step 2. Firmly press and continue to hold the TEST button through Step 4.
Step 3. Move handle to ON position.
Step 4. Circuit breaker should trip at one of the following times.
Trips Instantly (less than 1 second) Fault to Ground
Trips at 2.0 seconds Arc Fault
Trips at 5.0 seconds
Procedure Complete Includes: no fault, thermal overload,
short circuit
Trips at 10.0 seconds Out of memory
To reset Fault Indication:
• Perform the fault indication procedure a total of 6 times.
• Fault Indication procedure will be verified with a trip at 5 seconds signifying completion.
An automatic reset of Fault Indication will occur if the AFGF circuit breaker has been powered continuously for 27 days.
