Using the Status Indicators

There are six LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), located behind a grille on
the rear panel. These will help you diagnose faults. From left to right
(viewed from the rear) these LEDs are:

LED Check

1

microprocessor

2

–12V

3

+12V

4

–5V analog

5

+5V analog

6

+5V digital

Check that:

1.

LEDs 2 to 6 are on. If any of these LEDs are off contact your
Siemens distributor.

2.

LED 1 is flashing. If it is not flashing:

a. disconnect and reconnect the line cord.

b. check the memory card is installed correctly (refer to fitting

instructions).

If LED 1 still does not flash contact your Siemens distributor.
