Overwatch - Faults - Not Passing Installation Tests (OEM lights)

Overwatch - Faults - Not Passing Installation Tests (OEM lights)

Some EQSS Overwatch kits receive their control signals from scissor control box LED display circuits.
Overwatch kits are engineered and adapted to reliably function as a safety cutout system. Various control signals are carefully considered and then the most reliable ones are chosen to be monitored by the Overwatch system. The panel LED lines are sometimes chosen as a reliable signal source and they also have the added benefit of being immediately visible and usable as a trouble shooting tool. 

Therefore, if during an Overwatch installation test, some function is failing, please look at and observe all control box panel lights. If it's found that some light(s) are not illuminating (faulty control board), then this could be the cause of the Overwatch test failing.

Below is a generic schematic, illustrating the type of circuit being discussed in the Tech Doc:
