Auto-Reset Run When this type of fault occurs, and [Auto Rstrt Tries] (see
page 3-35
) is set to a value greater than “0,” a
user-configurable timer, [Auto Rstrt Delay] (see page 3-35

cause of the fault must be corrected before the fault can be
cleared. The fault will be reset on power up after repair.

a fault condition.
