Symptoms/Issue

Unison processor is displaying a CPU Error. Overlay LED will be continually blinking

Cause

There are several causes for this error:

  • One or more of the incoming phases is bad and is causing the phase processor(s) to throw an error
  • One or more of the processors monitoring each phase has failed
  • One or more of the opto-isolators for monitoring the phase voltages has failed

It is entirely possible that this is normal operation due to timing issues at the firmware level. The error should normally clear within about a minute. In systems where the power phases are dirtier than normal, this error may persist a little longer.
