The Series PD controller may have up to nine LED indicator lights to help you monitor the
status of input power, Ethernet functions, input errors and outputs status. These LEDs can
provide a quick visual indication of basic controller functions. An additional heartbeat LED,
used for diagnostics, can be seen through the top vent at the back left side of the controller.
Heartbeat LED Diagnostics:
• Application Mode (normal operation) - 1 flash per second
• Test Mode (internal factory calibration) - 10 flashes per second
• Boot Code (internal factory configuration) - 1 flash per 2 seconds
Both Input Error LEDs Lit
• TFTP Mode (flash download in progress)
