5.2.3. Status

LED

For local supervision, a status LED at the bottom of the node gives an indication of a
summary alarm.

The kit contains one alarm LED and three
cables.

This 2-colour LED provides visual
equipment status information:

Green

Normal operation condition

Red Summary

alarm

Status
LED off

Check the cables to the external
alarm connector.
Check power switch inside of
the node.
Check mains cabling.
Check mains power.
