experiencing a brownout or blackout condition. 
 
 
The 4-character display on the C300 Controller and LEDs on the 
controller module and the IOTA are off. 
 
In the Monitoring tab, the C300 Controller icon turns red.

or temporarily by brownout or blackout condition. 
Re-connect the main power source or turn it On or wait for temporary 
brownout or blackout condition to pass.

Power-On Self Test (POST) does not complete 
A fault is detected during the Power-On Self Test (POST). 
 
A self test diagnostic code remains on display and the POST does not 
continue. 
Possible indications: Display shows test pattern, or Tnnn (nnn = a test 
number which is executed during POST). 
 
Note that if display shows 'T499' POST has completed.
