To the rear of the CableData Collector, as shown in Figure 2, there are four items. On the
very left is the SD card slot. Currently this is unsupported and is not functional - please do
not insert an SD card into the slot. Underneath the SD Card Slot, are three status LEDs.
Further information on the LEDs is available in the next section.
To the right of the SD Card Slot, is the USB Connector. This connector is used for both
powering the instrument and communicating with it. The CableData Collector is supplied with
a split USB Cable that allows more power to be drawn from an additional USB port if the
USB port of a laptop cannot provide sufficient power.
On the right of the USB connector is the Ethernet Socket. Currently this is unsupported and
is not functional - please do not insert a network cable into this socket.

Status LED Definition
The left hand two status LEDs indicate the status of the firmware. When the unit is powered
up but not collecting data, they should remain a solid green. When collecting data, the left
(outermost) LED should briefly flash whilst collecting event data. The centre LED will flicker
when collecting waveform data. As the waveform collection is a slower process, this will
flash for a longer period.
The right most LED is the phase reference indicator. When a phase reference is present, the
LED should remain solid green. In the event that the phase reference is lost, it will turn
orange.
In the event that any of the Status LEDs turns red, try power cycling the unit to see if this
alleviates the problem. If the red status light remains illuminated, this may indicate a possible
hardware issue with the unit. If this occurs then please contact EA Technology Product
Support Team for further instructions.
