Earth Fault Searching from the Front Panel (continued)
Search Option B:
Select Channel
• If you select the IDNet Channel Search menu item, a list of IDNet channels to search
becomes available. Use the Next and Previous buttons to scroll through the list. When the
IDNet channel you want to search is shown and "Press <ENTER> to start search" displays,
the search is ready to start. A sample screen is shown below.
Note: The FACP suspends normal operation for the duration of the search.
• Press the Enter button to start the search.
• As the search progresses, watch the display for an indication of how much of the search
has been completed. The search can be aborted at any time if you press the Clear button.
Skip ahead to the "Completing the Search" topic.
Search Option C:
Last Search
Result
This option simply displays the last Earth Fault Search result. If there has been no search since
the last system startup, or if the last search was aborted, the panel displays "RESULT NOT
AVA I L A B L E ."
Completing the
Search
When a Location or IDNet Channel Search completes, all of the following occurs:
• All slaves automatically reset.
• The FACP turns off the Earth Fault Search trouble pseudo-point.
• The panel displays the specific fault information.
The panel can only return one Earth Fault Search result at a time. If another fault exists, it can
only be found via diagnostics after the first fault is cleared. Faults will continue to appear, one
by one, until each one has been found and corrected.
Continue to the next topic for a list of search results and their required actions.

IMPORTANT: Once you have been directed to an earth ground fault and corrected
it, it is recommended that you restart the system (warm- or cold-
start).
