POWER (Green)
On steady
On Steady = Unit is getting power from either the
battery or 24 VAC power.
Off Steady = Unit is shut down.
FAULT (Red)
Off steady
Off Steady = Normal operation.
On Steady = General Fault. CCT application may
be corrupted or missing. Some FAULT conditions
are user-configurable in the
Metasys
software. Pre-
configured fault conditions include excessive CPU
flash or memory use, excessive board temperature.
Blink - 2 Hz = Download or Startup in progress, not
ready for normal operation.
Blink Rapidly - 5 Hz = One or more defined SA
Bus devices are offline. Check SA Bus devices for
problems, including low batteries on wireless
sensor.
SA BUS (Green)
Blinking
Blinking - 5 Hz = Data Transmission (normal
communication)
Off Steady = No Data Transmission
On Steady = Communication lost, waiting to join
communication ring
FC BUS (Green)
Flicker
Flicker = Normal communications; the FC Bus
is transmitting and receiving data. Flickers are
generally synchronized with data transmission but
do not use them to indicate specific transmission
times. Off Steady = No field controllers are defined
to FC Bus in the network engine. This LED is always
OFF on LON models with 9.0.7 software.
