Default Configuration
The Status Lamps are programmed in the factory to a default configuration.
The default configuration is shown below. Each lamp indicates the state of the function described next to it. When a state is active, the lamp is lit.
For example, when the recloser is in Lockout the lamp next to Lockout in position a-1 will be on.
Conversely if the lamp is off, the recloser is not in a lockout state.
It is possible that more than one lamp will be lit at a given time.
Example, when a recloser tripped to lockout due to an over current fault on Phase A, both Lockout (a-1) and A-Phase O/C (a-2) lamps will be lit.

The table below describes the default function and color of each lamp.
Table 3 flexVUE Status Lamp descriptions
| LED No. | Color | Description | Possible causes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Column A | |||
| a-1 |
Red |
Lockout |
Recloser has tripped to lockout due to a protection sequence or operator command. Automatic close operations are not possible and the operator has to close the recloser using the O.I. or a remote command. |
|
a-2 |
Red |
A-Phase O/C |
The most recent trip of the recloser was caused by an over current event due to a fault on the relevant network phases. |
|
a-3 |
Red |
B-Phase O/C |
|
|
a-4 |
Red |
C-Phase O/C |
|
|
a-5 |
Red |
Ground Fault |
The most recent trip was caused by a ground (earth) fault. |
|
a-6 |
Red |
Sensitive Ground |
The most recent trip was caused by a sensitive ground (earth) fault. |
| Column B | |||
|
b-1 |
Red |
Pickup |
One of the protection elements detected a value outside the normal range, for example when the phase current exceeds the phase trip setting value. |
|
b-2 |
Red |
Reverse Fault |
Protection has operated in the reverse direction due to power flow from the load side to the source side of the recloser. |
|
b-3 |
Red |
O/U Frequency |
An over or under frequency event has caused the recloser to trip. |
|
b-4 |
Red |
O/U Voltage |
An over or under voltage event has caused the recloser to trip. |
|
b-5 |
Red |
External Trip |
An external device has instructed the controller to trip the switchgear. |
|
b-6 |
Red |
Operator Trip |
A local or remote operator has tripped the recloser. |
| Column C | |||

c-1 |
Orange |
A Phase Live |
The source or load side bushing of the relevant phases are live. |
|
c-2 |
Orange |
B Phase Live |
|
|
c-3 |
Orange |
C Phase Live |
|
|
c-4 |
Red |
Load Current ON |
Red when a load current greater than 2 A is flowing through the switchgear. |
|
c-5 |
Green |
System OK |
The controller is functioning normally. Maintenance may be required when the lamp is flashing red. Consult the Event Log. |
|
c-6 |
Green |
AC Power |

|
c-7 |
Green |
Battery |
Flashing Red lamp when Battery is OFF, not detected or test failed. |
|
c-8 |
Red |
Alarm |
Flashing Red lamp when Trip or Close circuits are isolated, contact life is low or the switchgear is locked. |
