Completing the Search

When a Location or IDNet Channel Search completes, all of the following occurs:
• All cards/devices automatically reset.
• The FACU 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.
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).
Continue to the next topic for a list of search results and their required actions.

There are several types of results that can display at the end of an Earth Fault Search. This section covers all types of results.
Important: Once you have been directed to an earth ground fault and corrected it, it is recommended that you restart the system (warm-
