Operating Instructions: ATOM

LED Output 

ATOM Interlocking Device state is indicated by LED at the base of the device. If a device is in a fault state, a full cycle of the 

inputs or power cycle may be required to clear the fault state. If fault state cannot be cleared contact Fortress Technical 

Support.
