The GBC generates this error when there is a power loss on the field wiring side of a Genius I/O
block.
Correction
1) (Only valid for Isolated I/O blocks.) Initiate Pulse Test COMREQ #1. Pulse test may be enabled or
disabled at I/O block.
2) Correct the power failure.
2, Short Circuit in User Wiring

Correction
Fix the cause of the over current.
8, Low or No Current Flow
The GBC generates this error when there is very low or no current flow in the user circuit.
Correction
Fix the cause of the condition.
10 hex, Switch Temperature Too High
The GBC generates this error when the Genius block reports a high temperature in the Genius Smart
Switch.
Correction
1) Ensure that the block is installed to provide adequate circulation.
2) Decrease the ambient temperature surrounding the block.
3) Install RC Snubbers on inductive loads.
20 hex, Switch Failure
The GBC generates this error when the Genius block reports a failure in the Genius Smart Switch.
