Auto Fault

Recovery

AFR=

1 byte,

Command or Query.

BUC/BDC output is automatically muted in event of detected fault. If auto fault recovery is

enabled, it causes output to return to pre-fault mute condition if all faults are cleared.

If disabled, the output remains muted even if all faults are cleared.

Clearing of fault condition will not cause a switchover in a redundant system unless the currently

online unit is faulted; in which case, the newly unfaulted unit is brought online.

Default Value: 1

Example: <1/AFR=1’cr’
