STATUS INDICATORS 

The 7700ACO-HD has 8 LED Status indicators on the front card edge to show operational status of the 

card at a glance. Figure 4-1 shows the location of the LEDs and card edge controls.

Figure 4-1: Status LED Locations 

 

Two large LEDs on the front of the main board indicate the general health of the module. 

 

LOCAL FAULT: 

This Red LED indicates poor module health and will be ON during the absence of a 

valid input signal or if a local input power fault exists (i.e.: a blown fuse). The 

LOCAL FAULT indication can also be reported to the frame through the FRAME 

STATUS jumper.  

 

 

The Red LED will also indicate any differences in signals on Bank A and B (based 

on POOL settings).  The 7700ACO-HD expects to have an equal number of inputs 

on Banks A and B.  If there is a discrepancy, this is considered a fault condition 

since a switch from the primary (or active) bank to the secondary bank will result 

in a loss of video or audio (depending on the missing input signal). 

 

MODULE OK: 

This Green LED indicates good module health. It will be ON when a valid input 

signal is present, and the board power is good. 

 

4.1.  BANK SELECTION LEDS 

These two LEDs indicate which input is providing the source for the output.  Input A is located at the top 

leftmost LED.
