USB LED 

The 

USB

 LED indicates the communication status of the 

UCERB 24

. It uses up to 5 mA of current and 

cannot be disabled. Ta

 explains the USB LED function.

Indication 

Steady green 

The 

UCERB 24

 is connected to a computer or external USB hub. 

Pulsing green 

Initial communication is established between the 

UCERB 24

 and the computer, or data is 

being transferred. 

PWR LED 

The 

UCERB 24

 incorporates an on-board voltage supervisory circuit that monitors the external 9 V 

power. If the input voltage falls outside of the specified range, the 

PWR

 LED shuts off. 

 

explains the function of the PWR LED.

Indication 

Steady green 

External power is supplied to the 

UCERB 24.

 

Off 

Power is not supplied by the external supply, or a power fault has occurred. A power fault 
occurs when the input power falls outside of the specified voltage range of the external supply 
(6.0 V to 12.5 V). 

Invert/non-invert switch (S1) 

The Invert/non-invert switch (S1) sets the relay control logic per relay bank to either inverted or non-
inverted. By default, switch S1 is configured for non-invert (see 

)

NON-INVERT

: when "0" is written or read back via the USB bus, the relays are not energized.

INVERT

: when "0" is written or read back via the USB bus, the relays are energized. 

Switch settings do not affect the power-on condition. Use 

Insta

Cal to read the current logic setting for 

each module group.
