Terminate racking in (connection) of the device.

MX opening release permanently supplied with power.

There is an opening order. Determine the origin of the order. The order must be cancelled before the device can be closed.

MN undervoltage release not supplied with power.

There is an opening order. Determine the origin of the order.

Check the voltage and the supply circuit (U > 0.85 Un). If the problem persists, replace the release.

Permanent trip order in the presence of a MicroLogic P trip unit with minimum voltage and minimum frequency protection in Trip mode and the trip unit powered.

Disable these protection functions on the MicroLogic P trip unit.

Unexpected tripping.

MN undervoltage release supply voltage too low.

Check the voltage and the supply circuit (U > 0.85 Un).

Load-shedding order sent to the MX opening release by another device.

Check the overall load on the distribution system.

If necessary, modify the settings of devices in the installation.

Unnecessary opening order from the MX opening release.

Determine the origin of the order.

Device cannot be opened remotely, but can be opened locally.

Opening order not executed by the MN undervoltage release.

Drop in voltage insufficient or residual voltage (> 0.35 Un) across the terminals of the undervoltage release. If the problem persists, replace the MN release.

Device cannot be opened locally.

Operating mechanism malfunction or welded contacts.

Contact a Schneider Electric service centre.
