The associated module has become defective. The unit will still operate normally as the remain-
ing working modules will share a higher load. The unit will go into current limit and the output 
voltage will drop if the load drawn is more than the combined maximum rated output of the 
remaining modules. Reduce the load so that the maximum load drawn is less than the combined 
maximum rated output of the working modules. 

Remove the defective module and replace with a new module.

The unit has gone into current limit as the load being drawn is more than the combined maximum 
rating of the working modules. This may also result if one or more modules has failed . Check that 
all the modules are operating properly. If a module has failed, its green LED would extinguish 
or flash. Reduce the load drawn to a value less than the combined maximum rated output of 
the working modules. If the voltage does not rise to the rated voltage of 13.65V to 13.35V, then 
switch off all the loads. If the voltage in this condition is also low, switch off the unit and contact 
technical support.

-   The output voltage of the individual modules is not the same or the forced shared control 

circuitry of the module(s) is defective. Adjust the voltages of the modules to 14.2V as explained 
on page 13.

-   If the problem still exists, contact technical support.

-   If the one or more PSM status LED(s) flash when no external load is connected, it may mean that 

the internal pre-load current is not sufficient to provide adequate feedback signal for the cur-
rent share control circuitry. Apply external load. If the flashing stops, the associated PSM(s) are 
normal. If flashing continues even after applying an external load, contact technical support.
