SRVO-012: Power failure recovery

Not a fault - a notification that the controller powered up in hot start mode, resuming from where it was when power dropped.

What it means

Not a fault - a notification that the controller powered up in hot start mode, resuming from where it was when power dropped. If you're seeing it after every power cycle, that's just how hot start works.

Common causes

Ranked by what technicians most often find, most likely first.

  1. Normal controller power-up with hot start enabled. That's the whole list.

How to fix it

  1. Nothing to fix - informational only. Press RESET and carry on. Worth knowing so a new tech doesn't burn an hour chasing a 'power failure' that's really a power-up message.
