Questions and answers
After pressing the test button it worked. But I cannot get the system working again
To troubleshoot the Sargent EC175 Series system that stopped working after pressing the test button:
1. Check the RCD: The Residual Current Device (RCD) may have tripped. Reset the RCD if it has turned off.
2. Check the MCBs: Miniature Circuit Breakers may have tripped due to overload or short circuit. Reset them if needed.
3. Reboot the control panel: If the control panel is unresponsive, turn off the PSU isolate switch, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
4. Check power supply:
- Make sure the 230V supply is present.
- Ensure the PSU charger switch is turned on and illuminated.
- Check if a charged battery is properly connected.
5. Inspect fuses: Check for blown fuses and replace them with the correct type.
6. Verify equipment connection: Ensure all equipment is switched on and connected to the 12V supply.
7. Check for PSU shutdown: If the PSU overheated, reduce the load and allow it to cool. It will reset automatically.
Follow these steps to restore normal operation.
