    Microflite Ultra 2000 13.3 High Speed Troubleshooting / Sequence of Operations At this time it will be necessary to run the microprocessor. The status of inputs represented on the screen typically coincide with the status of the redundant relay associated with it. In other words, if the DG relay is energized, the DG input is highlighted on the screen.
