Power LED Blinks Periodically
|
- Check for correct supply voltage
- Disconnect the input connector (not the power connector).
- Apply power to the USC701, if the power LED now remains permanently
lit there is probably too much load on the "EXCIT" output
for the voltage it has been programmed for, reprogram to a lower voltage
or change load.

The Run LED Is Not Flashing

- Check that suitable spike suppression is fitted across contactor
coils operating from same power source.

It is possible to create equations that will lock up the USC701. The
lock can occur due to an improper equation or an unhappy circumstance
that occurs during programming (The equation is in use while it is being
changed). To return the USC701 to operating state a short simple program
is downloaded during the power up period.
- Using the new module wizard make a signal isolator with one input
one output and no relays.
- On the "Tools" menu select "Disable Protocol Interlocks"
- Connect the computer adaptor to the USC701 and switch off the power
to the unit.
- Press program.
- Switch on the power to the USC701; the program should start downloading
after a second.
- If process is unsuccessful power down the USC701 and try again.
- After the USC701 has recovered try suspect program again it may be
successful or rewrite using an alternate structure.
