Once the circuit breaker has tripped, the indicator will flash permanently if
auxiliary power (24 V DC power) is available. Alternatively, once the circuit
breaker has tripped, a standard portable battery pack (power bank) can be
used to temporarily supply auxiliary power via the Micro-USB connection of
the trip unit.
The indicators and the display can be reset to the OFF position by moving
the-toggle or using PXPM software to reset. If the circuit breaker does not
have any auxiliary power supply, the indicators will not be active.
The tripping message will also be stored in the event log of the PXR trip unit.
The following table lists the readout reasons that the indicators are able to
recognize and indicate.
