7.3.3 Short Circuit (Red)
LED state
Indication
Off
Shunt resistance above 1.25kΩ
Flashing
Non-latch mode: Shunt resistance is below 1.25kΩ but for less than trip time setting
Latch mode: ECD has tripped on series resistance and shunt resistance is now below
1.25kΩ
On
Shunt resistance below 1.25kΩ
7.3.4 Open Circuit (Red)
LED state
Indication
Off
Series resistance is below trip setting
Flashing
Non-latch mode: Series resistance is above trip setting but for less than trip time setting
Latch mode: ECD has tripped on shunt resistance and series resistance is now above trip
setting
On
Series resistance is above trip setting
7.3.5 Start Timed Out (Red)
LED state
Indication
Off
Start button not pressed
Flashing
Start button is pressed
On
Start button has timed out (held down for more than 15s)
7.4 Fault Indication
CAUTION!
When an internal fault occurs, all the LEDs will be flashing together and the measurements
can no longer be trusted. A power cycle is needed to reset this state. If this happens
repetitively, please contact Ampcontrol as the unit may be damaged.
The ECD continuously checks the health of its internal circuitry. If these checks fail, the ECD will show an internal fault by
flashing all LEDs and returning the relay contacts to the default position.
7.5 Starting the ECD
When first powered, the ECD will begin checking its internal circuitry as well as the pilot circuit. If no faults are detected within
1.7s the ECD will be ready to start.
• If remote start mode is not selected the ECD will automatically start, energising its output relay.
• If remote start mode is selected the ECD will wait for the start button to be pressed.
After a trip has occurred and the fault cleared, the ECD can be reset and re-started depending on the configured modes:
Latching Mode
Remote Start
