Verify that no capacitor units have been isolated from the capacitor bank (check for blown fuses). The LCD should display a voltage that is essentially zero, or at most 50% of the capaci- tor bank neutral-to-ground voltage calculated to result from the isolation of one capaci- tor unit.

Alarm Contacts Configuration The BankGuard PLUS has two sets of normally open and normally closed (a & b) con- tacts called Alarm and 2nd Alarm. Alarm contacts change state when control power is applied to the BankGuard PLUS, and when control power is off all alarm contacts are in the active state.
