The Status Light (LED) on a VR2AR flashes either
red
or
green
. Generally, the
red
flashes are related to
received pings and the
green
flashes are related to transmitted pings. Just after a VR2AR is powered, it
performs a self-test and flashes both the
green
and
red
lights at the same time, making the light look more of
an
orange
colour.
After these “
orange
” flashes, you will see either:
•
a very long
green
light to indicate the tests passed and all is well, or
•
a long
red
light to indicate there was a problem.
If you see the long
red
light followed by more flashes, then contact VEMCO for instructions.
When the transmit feature is enabled in the VR2AR, the status light will flash a quick flash for each ping sent
and a longer
green
flash to indicate that the pings were recorded in the VR2AR memory.
