SYSTEM SAFETY light on the Reinke RPM Connect

An independent guide from FixMyPivot, not from the manufacturer. Brand and panel names are here only so you can find your own equipment.

What it means

Off on a powered panel means the safety circuit is open.

When lit, the safety circuit is complete and the system is okay to run. If the panel is powered but this light is off, the safety circuit is open and the machine will not run. This panel can be started from the online account, so treat the machine as live while you are out at it. Walk the machine and find the cause before starting it again. Do not hold the Start Forward or Start Reverse button in to force it. Holding it overrides the safety, and holding it more than three seconds can damage the machine.

Before you touch anything

Reading the display and looking the machine over with every door and cover closed is fine. Anything past that means power shut off and locked out at the main disconnect first, and electrical checks belong to a dealer, an electrician, or someone qualified to be in the panel.

This is what it means on the Reinke RPM Connect. On a different panel the same light or message can mean something else. Wrong panel? Pick another Reinke panel.

Safety

Center pivots run on high voltage and heavy moving machinery. Shut off and lock out power at the main disconnect before you open a panel or touch anything electrical. If you are not sure, stop and call your local pivot dealer or a licensed electrician. These pages tell you what a code means. They do not replace a qualified technician, and the safety instructions that came with your equipment come first.
