1.8  NION-232B Operation

NION-232B  LEDs

Five LEDs on the mother board of the NION-232B provide information about module operation. The table below

explains the possible conditions.

LED

Color

Description

Status

Green

This LED provides information on network communication and node

binding by one of the three modes listed below:
On or Off solid - NION is not bound.
Flashing slow - NION is bound and communicating.
Flashing fast - NION is bound but not communicating or the

packet was lost.

Unbound

Yellow

This LED provides information on node binding by one of the three

modes listed below:
Off - NION is bound.
Flashing - NION is not bound.
Solid - NION is in a fault condition or the PROM chip is not

installed.

Net Receive

Green

Flashes once when receiving a message from the Echelon network.

Serial Receive

Green

Flashes once when receiving an event message from the fire panel.

Serial Fail

Yellow

This LED provides information on serial communication by the two

modes listed below (unless otherwise noted for a specific interface):
On - Serial communication failure with the attached fire panel.
Off - Serial communication is OK.

NOTE: Refer to Figure 1-1: NION-

232B Board Layout for the position
