Hot Swapping
Power Supplies
The Series 5000 CardModules and Power Supplies are fully hot swappable.
Power Supply Failure
A failure in the Primary power supply will automatically trigger the use of the redundant
supply (if fitted) and will trigger the following alarm conditions / indications (requires
controller option).
Reported fault on the monitoring system
Alarm GPO trigger on the alarm connector (see Alarm Connections section)
Front Panel LED (normally green) will go out (See Alarm / Status indication section)
Once identified, the defective supply can be removed and replaced with power connected
with no interruption to the operation of the CardModules, if the redundant supply is
installed.
CardModules
If a CardModule fails, the error will be reported over the monitoring system and via the
front side alarm LED. Alarm function is module dependant so please refer to the
CardModule manual for failure conditions and indications. The defective CardModule can
be removed and replaced with an identical replacement without removing power from the
frame.
NOTE: If the “HOT SYNC” function is active in the installed controller, then the settings of
the previous card will be automatically written back into the new modules flash ram once
installed (if the same type). For further details on the “HOT SYNC” function please refer
to the GUI sections of the R CT 5023-G manual
.
