The LEDs on the front panel indicate the unit status:
LED Status Indicates
None No power supply.
OK LED Green Current status of the unit OK.
OK LED Red Fault condition detected in unit.
TX Led Flashes Transmitting Message.
PG LED on Configuration Cable Connected.
Input LED ON Input LEDS (i.e. D1, D2, SP, AZ.) light when the corresponding input is active.
D1 Digital Input 1 is active (Low).
D2 Digital Input 2 is active.
SP Analog Setpoint is active.
AZ Analog Input is zero mA
All LEDs medium flash Medium speed flash (1.6HZ) indicates the module is halfway through the
configuration process. Medium flash also happens when you set the rotary switch
to position 0 when powering on the unit.
