4.5 Status
4.5.1 Status Monitor
The software inquires the connected APS power source for the statuses with the interval of about two
seconds, and refreshes the display of the status monitor while the output of the APS Power Source is on.
Table 4-1 shows the list of statuses to be monitored.
After the APS power source status inquiry, the applicable status (i.e., the status is ON) illuminates in red
or orange. Figure 4-12 shows the example of status display.
When a red status is ON, the protection function is activated on the APS power source main unit,
causing an error. Under this situation, if you try to change the output setting ( 4.2.5) or limiter
setting ( 4.2.6) without clearing the status ( 4.5.2), an error occurs.

4.5.2 Clear
From the Menu Bar, click [Status] - [Clear]. This makes the status monitor display to go off in the
windows of the software and clears the APS power source error (equivalent to pressing the ENTER key
for an error message window).
