When the tamper switch is activated (closed to open), the heartbeat 

LED stays OFF for 3 sec before indicating the firmware version. 

The LED pulses the major, minor, and micro digits of the firmware 

version, with a 1 sec pause after each digit.
Flashing patterns do not start until the tamper is open (short is 

removed). In the following is an example, the version 1.4.3 shows as 

LED flashes:

[3 sec pause] 

*___****___***

 [3 sec pause, then normal operation].

To show the firmware version using an LED flash pattern: 

– If the optional tamper switch is installed: 

With the enclosure door open, activate the tamper switch (push and 

release the switch).

– If the optional tamper switch is NOT installed: Momentarily short 

the tamper pins.

Refer to 

Figure 6.1 

for an example of flash patterns.
