Learning Track · Module 6: Faults · Step 41 of 101

  1. Many stop together: usually a power cut or network outage.
  2. One stops, neighbours report: supply, control breaker, SIM, antenna, or a failed device at that site.
  3. Reports at night but not in the day: its power is on the switched side of the contactor. Move it to the unswitched side.
