2. The ORION Green RUN LED does not
flash at a 1 second interval.
A.
Unit is defective. Contact reseller for a
return authorization number
3. Communication does not occur between the
Diagnostic port and the emulator terminal on
the ORION. (Unit will not attach for
configuration of the unit [Steps 15 through 21]).
A.
Verify the RS 232 Cable Connections from
the PC to ORION Diag port. (Figure 2
Illustration 7).
B.
Verify the PC to Prot Conv settings
accessible through the setup menu of the
CON2MOD setup utility. (Step 10 Figure
4).
C.
Does the PC com port match the com port
settings in the PC to Prot Conv setting
menu. (Step 10 Figure 4).
4. The ORION Amber CONFIG LED flashes.

The ORION has not been configured.
Download the saved configuration file from
the configuration terminal. (Step 15 Figure

5. Communication does not occur between the
relay and the ORION connection via the IED
port on the ORION.
A.
Verify the Supplied IED RS 485
connections and cable connections as
shown in Figure 2.
B.
Verify the port parameters in the attached
relay as described in Step 7.
C.
Verify the ORION configuration settings as
described in Step 11 Figure 5.
D.
Have the configuration settings been
downloaded to the ORION as described in
Step 15 Figure 9.
E.
Modify the Warm –Up and Warm Down
delays in the Modbus IED port
parameterization screen to be 10 mS less
than is presently configured. Download the
new configuration to the ORION Unit. (Step
11 Figure 5 and Step 15 Figure 9).
6. The Red TX or RX LED’s do not illuminate
on the ORION Unit when the DNP 3.0 Host
communicates to the ORION Unit.
