Test Output Recovery After Overload or Short Circuit to 
Ground Condition
Table 21 describes test output recovery after overload or short circuit to ground 
conditions occur.
Table 21 - Test Output Recovery - Compact 5000 I/O Safety Input Modules
Cause of Fault Module Operating Conditions Correction Recovery Time
Overload Condition • Test Output Point Mode - Pulse Test, Power 
Supply, or Muting Lamp.
• Test Output Data tag = 1.
• Overload current ≥ 0.7 A.
Remove the load from the test output point. After the condition is corrected, and the test 
output is returned to the safe state, it recovers 
in whichever of the following times are higher:
• 10 seconds
• Input Error Latch Time - This time is set on 
the Input Points category of the Module 
Properties dialog box.
To see where to set the Input Error Latch 
Time, go to 
page 203.
Short Circuit to Ground 
Condition
• Test Output Point Mode - Pulse Test, Power 
Supply, or Muting Lamp.
• Test Output Data tag = 1.
• Test output is connected directly to ground.
One of the following:
• If the Point Mode for the test output is Pulse 
Test or Power Supply when the Short Circuit 
condition is detected, the condition can be 
corrected but you cannot set the test output 
to a safety state. 
• If the Point Mode for the test output is 
Muting Lamp and the output is on when the 
Short Circuit condition is detected, the 
ShortToHigh is detected as a muting fault.
