HarmonicGuard Filter Manual 6.0 PQconnect Troubleshooting Debug Status Conditions Based on the status condition there are various ways a status can appear. Some status conditions are not critical and are used as warnings. Before investigating the filter internally, disengage supply voltage to the filter.
HarmonicGuard Filter Manual 6.0 PQconnect Troubleshooting Contactor Problem Parameter 257 Contactor Status can be used to determine why the PQconnect board is not closing the tuned circuit contactor. The following tables define what a specific contactor status code value means and list potential resolutions to allow the contactor to close. Note that some setpoint parameters require tech level parameter access to be viewable over the serial connection or via the PQvision software.
