Operational status indications

Operational status indications can be read from the LED STATUS and LED DV.

A functional system should indicate the following on LED ON:

LED STATUS lit red; Central Unit is in standby mode

LED STATUS lit green; Central Unit is in operational standby mode, or in

operational mode

LED STATUS flashing red; Error code sequence (Check double 7-segment LED

display for further information.

The LED DV is used to indicate current status for the Dump Valve output

LED DV lit red; Indicates that the DV-output is active
