A/C Power Loss means that your panel is no longer receiving AC power. Alder has a built-in fail-safe with a backup battery that lasts up to 24 hours to ensure you are fully covered in the event of a power outage. The backup battery automatically recharges itself once the AC power has been restored.
Causes
Reasons for a loss of AC power could include but not limited to:
- Issues with the electrical outlet
- Issues with the transformer (plug)
- The power wire
- The terminal on the panel
- The electrical circuit breaker
- A power outage in your area
Troubleshooting
We recommend checking the following:
- Verify that the transformer (plug) is still properly secured to the outlet
- Verify that the outlet has power
- Verify that the outlet is not a GFCI (reset button outlet) or switch-controlled outlet
- Inspect the power wire for any damage
- Inspect power terminal on Cove touch panel for any damage
- Check your home's circuit breaker has not tripped and is on
- Verify that there is not a power outage in your area
