2. Turn on the system circuit breakers and apply AC input to the unit.
When the unit receives AC input, it performs self-diagnostics. If the unit detects
an error, the unit sets the respective fault bits and lights the FAULT LED, or
the light green ON / READY LED if the fault is severe. You will not be able to
apply power to the load until you clear the fault.
3. Verify that the light green ON / READY LED is lit.
4. Verify that an increase in setpoint applies power to the load.
If the Thyro-PX DC unit is delivering power and the LIMIT LED is not lit, the unit
is functioning properly.
