Siemens Combination Type AFCI trip indicators provide a valuable analysis tool to help electricians pinpoint the type of trip. These indicators
are in the form of LEDs that appear near the handle of the breaker. The LED indicators will appear for 5 seconds each time the AFCI is turned “ON”
up to 30 days after the last trip. One LED will be illuminated if the last trip was a result of an arcing fault to ground. No indicator will be
displayed if the AFCI trips as a result of an overcurrent condition. The last known trip indicator can also be manually cleared from memory to
assist with verifying resolution of the problem.
