Visually inspect that the ONLINE LED on the 14.
control card is blinking and the clock is powered
up and displaying correctly.
Navigate on the DTC to USER MENU > 15.
MANUAL OVERRIDE and TAB or SCROLL to
the correct LCP and Load (relay). Exercise each
relay by manually switching it on and off 3 or 4
times. If possible, listen to hear the relay contacts
clicking as they open and close.
