LED Indicators

In all cases when the GREEN icons are lit, this is an indicator that the HSB is performing properly.

In all cases when the RED icons are lit, this is an indicator that the HSB has registered a fault and must be corrected. Only the “LOW 
BATTERY” and “MAINTENANCE” icons will not latch out or shut down the HSB. All other RED icon faults will latch out, shut down, disable 
starting and light the RED icons on the aXis Controller Module and the exterior fault code light on the backside of the HSB.

Reset fault code(s)

There is an exterior fault code indicator light located on the back of the enclosure. This should be checked weekly to make sure there are 
no active fault codes.

The fault code(s) can be reset by placing the aXis Controller Module in the OFF position for 10 seconds and then placed into ATS mode. 
This will reset fault icon, however if a fault code(s) re-occurs it must be addressed.

BATTERY(S) NO OR LOW LEVEL CHARGED, BATTERY(S) DEAD, NEEDS REPLACEMENT, THE EXERCISE TIME MUST BE RESET ONCE 
THE BATTERY(S) HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED.
