What do the e-ink displays on my panel mean?

Whether you're an electrician installing the panel or a homeowner checking its status, it's important to understand what the display is showing. Use this guide to quickly identify and interpret panel statuses.

The panel's e-ink display consists of various components, each tailored for specific conditions.

You might notice various messages appearing on the circuit e-Ink displays, and these are primarily meant for your qualified electrician. They can effortlessly access additional information through their trade app. Let's take a closer look at some of the common messages you may encounter and what they mean.

It's important to keep in mind that your panel is here to keep you and your home safe. When an issue arises, it automatically turns off the power to protect you.

Below is a simulated example of the e-Ink display that illustrates all its elements when the panel is not in engineering mode.

Element	Condition	Image
Label	Shows the name/label given to the Circuit.
ID	Shows the ID given to the Circuit (the System Manager sets this when the Circuit is configured)
Status	Shows the Circuit status `OFF`: The breaker is open `ON`: The breaker is closed, the circuit is live `STANDBY`: The circuit is in standby (relay open) `LOCKOUT`: The circuit is in lockout - the breaker is forced to stay open `ELEC FAULT`: The breaker has opened due to an electrical fault `SYS FAULT`: A system fault has been detected
Status Detail	Supplements the status with additional information. Additional information is shown when the status is `ELEC FAULT` to indicate the specific fault that occurred: `UNCONFIGURED`: MCB/RCD/AFD have not been configured `PARALLEL ARC` `SERIES ARC`: Describes the arc detected NOTE: AFD IS NOT CURRENTLY ABLE TO DISTINGUISH TYPES OF ARC AND THIS SHOULD BE CHANGED `OVERLOAD`: Current overload (MCB trip) `RCD`: RCD trip `OVER TEMPERATURE`: Circuit tripped as the temperature was too high `SYS FAULT`: System fault
Engineering Mode	Shown when the circuit is in engineering mode. The entire display is also inverted. (Refer to the image 1.2 at the top of this page for a synthetic example of what engineering mode looks like)
Update Pending	Shown when the circuit is waiting for the user to confirm a software update or configuration change (i.e. waiting for the user to press the Basis Button)
Pending Config	Shown when configuration is in the pending state
MCB Config	Shows the type and rating of the current MCB configuration `MCB C20`: The MCB is configured as a 20A C curve `MCB INVALID`: The configuration for MCB is not valid. `MCB NONE`: MCB is not configured.
RCD Config	Shows the type and rating of the current RCD configuration `RCD A30mA`: The RCD is configured as a 30mA type A `RCD INVALID`: The configuration for RCD is not valid. `RCD NONE`: RCD is disabled or not configured.
RCD “50Hz Pulsed” Icon	Shown when the RCD is configured as types A, F or B
RCD “High Freq.” Icon	Shown when the RCD is configured as types F or B
RCD “Smooth DC” Icon	Shown when the RCD is configured as type B
AFD Config	Shows the AFD configuration `AFD ON`: AFD is enabled `AFD OFF`: AFD is not enabled `AFD INVALID`: Configuration is invalid
Version	Shows the circuit software version.
