1-4 DSM250 Digital Sounder Module
• Transducer detection . For safety reasons, if the transducer is
disconnected and then reconnected while the sounder is powered
on, the DSM250 does not detect that the transducer has been re-
attached. In this case, you must power down the DSM250, recon-
nect the transducer cable, and then power the sounder module
back on before it operates properly.
• Status LED . The LED on the connector panel provides valuable
status information. The LED blinks green while the module is
operating normally. If the unit detects a problem, the LED blinks
amber to indicate a warning or red for an error. The number of
times the LED blinks is a code representing the nature of the prob-
lem. Refer to
Status LED on page 7-6 .
