While Gauging

 

 
1. 

PROBLEM:

 The LED flashes red rapidly (10 Hz).  The probe is either faulty or 

disconnected.  Check the cabling and probe. 

2.  The LED indicates the expected state of the outputs as follows:

FIRMWARE VERSION 

 
The format of the firmware version number is of the form 1.2, comprising a single digit 
integer part and a single digit fractional part.  When first powered up, the controller 
displays the version number by flashing the integer digit value in red and the fractional 
digit value in green.  To determine the version number, count the number of red flashes 
and then the number of green flashes immediately after power-up.  For example, a 
single flash of red followed by a single flash of green indicates a version number of 1.1.
