FFP-F03
Light
Description
PWR
This is the power light and should show steady green at all times when the FFP-F04 is powered.
RAO
Starts flashing about once per second. This tells us that the PIC in the ProtoCessor has powered up
successfully
GP105
Will go on solid within 45 – 60 seconds after power up, signifying normal operation. ProtoCessor will
be able to access RUINET shortly after this LED comes on. During the first 45-60 seconds the LED
should be dark.
The FFP-F03 is operational after this point.

Troubleshooting Tips
If
PWR
LED does not come on and LA and LB don’t flash, call or email ProtoCessor support
If
PWR
LED does not come on but the LA and LB flash, then the
PWR
LED is broken.
If
LA
and
LB
don’t start to flash there could be a problem with the ProtoCessor and you need to contact
If
GP105
never comes on then you need to contact ProtoCessor support.
If
TX
and or
RX
don’t flash, it may represent a problem with the field wiring or Configuration problems in
the ProtoCessor on field side or incorrect polling parameters (such as COMM properties like baud, parity,
etc).
