Front Panel LEDs |
|||||||
|
Front panel mounted LED indicators have been included to indicate power supply and combiner status. Their meanings |
|||||||
|
are as follows: |
|||||||
DC Power Supply Modules |
|||||||
|
Green LED on |
– normal operation |
||||||
|
Green LED off |
– power supply failure |
||||||
Controller Module |
|||||||
|
AC1 / AC2 |
|||||||
|
LED green |
– normal operation |
||||||
|
LED off – AC power failure |
|||||||
|
DC1 / DC2 |
|||||||
|
LED green |
– DC power supply operating normally |
||||||
|
LED red |
– DC power supply failure |
||||||
|
NOTE: In those instances when the green LED goes off on a DC power supply module, its corresponding LED on the |
|||||||
|
controller module will change to red. |
|||||||
Combiner Modules |
|||||||
|
Green LED on (ACTIVE) |
– combiner module is currently online and is operating normally |
||||||
|
Yellow LED on (STANDBY) |
– combiner module is operating normally, but is currently offline and in standby mode |
||||||
|
Red LED on (FAILURE) |
– combiner module is offline and is experiencing a failure |
||||||
|
NOTES: |
For each redundant combiner module pair, only one combiner module can be active at a time; thus, when the |
||||||
|
|
ACTIVE (green) LED is lit on one combiner module, the STANDBY (yellow) LED will be lit on its redundant |
||||||
|
|
combiner module and vice versa. |
