Status signaling with LEDs and status messages
Built-In Test Equipment
The EXPLORER 6075LX has a Built-In Test Equipment (BITE) function in order to make fault
diagnostics easy during service and installation. The BITE test is performed during:
• Power On Self Test (POST), which is automatically performed each time the system is
powered on.
• Person Activated Self Test (PAST), which is initiated by starting a self test in the web
interface
SERVICE > Self test
.
For details on error messages after a POST or a self test see
Means of signaling
The EXPLORER 6075LX provides various methods for signaling the system status. There are

codes) with a short message describing each error. This is also displayed in the Base Unit.
In an error situation, one of the following system status messages may be shown:
