Notice: A common reason for an unexpected Rectifier Fail alert is a very low load or no load
resulting in a Ramp Test Fail/No Output Power alert. It is normal for a rectifier to have this alert
active if there is no load or very low load. If your system normally operates at very low load you
can disable the Ramp Test under Systems > DC System > Inventory > Rectifiers > Rectifiers
Configuration to clear this alert and prevent it from activating.

Notice: Even if a system is configured to auto-assign devices, once a rectifier has been
unassigned from the system, it must be manually reassigned back into the system. This is
necessary to avoid unintentional auto-assignment. If a device is unassigned using the Forget
button, then it will auto-assign when discovered on the CAN bus
