Step 4 – LED Light Indicators and Faults
The Run,Status, and Fault Code LEDs will behave as follows:
Run LED – Operation Signal (GREEN):
Flashes every 2 seconds when the main voltage is applied, there is no enable input signal
present at DI1 or DI2, and there are no active fault messages
Solid/continuous when the device is running and there is an input enable (start) signal on DI1
or DI2
No illumination when the main power is removed or there is an internal device fault
Status LED – Status Message (RED):
Flashes with the Fault Code LED when there is an undervoltage condition
Solid/continuous illumination with Fault Code LED in the event of an internal communication
fault (DE1 malfunctioning)
Fault Code LED – Fault Signal (RED/YELLOW):
Cyclical Red flashing/pulse sequence with 2 second pauses observe Table 4
Flashes Red with the Status LED when there is an undervoltage condition
Solid/continuous Red illumination with Status LED in the event of an internal communication
fault (DE1 malfunctioning)
Solid/continuous Yellow when DE1 VSS DC braking is active
Figure 12. LED Status Light Layout

PowerXL DE1 VSS Quick Start Guide
13 PowerXL DE1 Series Variable Speed Starter MN040015EN– February 2015 www.eaton.com
If the DE1 VSS has an internal communication fault (CPU fault), the green Run LED will turn off and the
Status and Fault Code LEDs will both illuminate to a solid/continuous red status.
NOTE: If this occurs the DE1 is faulty and will need to be replaced.
Fault Messages can be reset by:
Switching off the main voltage supply and switching it back on (cycling power)
Switching off (removing) the input enable signal (DI1 or DI2) and switching it back on
