Description of the indicator lights
The FC500MFI Mo du le has 3 in di ca tor LEDs.
YELLOW Indicator [1]
This lights up in the event of mal fun ctions or pro blems
on the RS485 se rial line of the con trol unit.
YELLOW Indicator [2]
This lights up in the event of mal fun ctions or pro blems
on the RS232 se rial line.
GREEN Indicator [3]
This lights up when the mo du le is po we red cor rectly.
Description of the terminals
The FC500MFI Mo du le has two ter mi nal blocks [

(see "Mi ni dip pro gram ming" in the pre vio us sec tion).
The
