Status Indicators
Indicator Color State Description
Fault Red On At power up – Channel 0 indicator lights at power up until all internal
diagnostics are checked. After successful power up, the indicator
goes off if no fault is detected and the module has started
communicating with an adapter.
After successful power up – Indicates a critical fault, such as
diagnostic failure. If channel indicator stays solid red after power up,
there is an internal module error. Try cycling power. If problem
persists, replace module.
If channel indicator continues to blink after power up, communication
between the module and the adapter has not been established.
