The red LED on the WeldCloud™ Mobile indicates the status of the unit.
At startup of WeldCloud™ Mobile, the red LED lights up for up to 2 minutes to indicate that
the startup is complete and that no error is found.
When the red LED is off after startup, there are no detected problems.
A steady lit red LED after start up sequence indicates that the configuration file is corrupt or
that there is an error on the equipment or network parameter.
Red LED blinking:
• short-short signal indicates no connection to WeldCloud™
• short-long-long signal indicates no connection with W82or PEK
