The output by the Simulation function consists of six types of steps: Initial, Normal 1, Trans 1, Abnormal, Trans 2, and Normal 2. Before the simulation starts, the KP3000GS stands by at the Initial Step. During the simulation, the step changes in the order of Initial, Normal 1, Trans 1, Abnormal, Trans 2, and Normal 2.
4.3 Using Power Fluctuation Testing (Simulation) Function Initial Step Initial Step is assigned to the stand-by state before the simulation starts. The KP3000GS also moves to the Initial Step and becomes stand-by state after the simulation ends, except when the repeat count is specified to 0 (= infinite count).

If the error still exists, this product or the power unit in the product may be faulty. Repair is needed in this case. Contact the seller (NF Corporation or our agent) from whom you purchased the product. Even though one of the power units is faulty, the product can be used by disconnecting the faulty power unit and using the rest of them.
8. Troubleshooting -------- Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The E mark does not mean it is faulty but indicates the protection operation was activated. In some cases such as the protection operation was activated in a chain-reaction manner, the E mark may appear on a normal power unit. A power unit is judged as faulty by checking whether the error repeats or not after the power unit is restarted as described in the step 2.
