MT-946C-SL STATUS INDICATORS
The MT-946C-SL transmitter provides the following LED status indicators to aid in installation and
troubleshooting:
DATA TX / RX INDICATORS
DATA TX and DATA RX indicators are provided to monitor the data and contact closure channels. TX1
and RX1 correspond with the multi-protocol input/output of data channel 1. TX2 and RX2 correspond
with the input/output of contact closure channel 2.
DATA TX
A green LED indicator is provided to monitor the data/contact closure coming in from the electrical
interface, through the MT-946C-SL, and out onto the fiber. The intensity of this indicator will vary with
input data patterns, however in typical data applications it will cycle on and off as data is transmitted.
For contact closure applications, this LED will be on solid when the CONTACT IN terminals are
connected together. Data/contact closure transmitted status associated with this LED is summarized
below.

DATA RX
A green LED indicator is provided to monitor the data/contact closure coming in from the fiber, through
the MT-946C-SL, and out onto the electrical interface. The intensity of this indicator will vary with input
data patterns, however in typical data applications it will cycle on and off as data is received. For
contact closure applications, this LED will be on solid when the CONTACT OUT terminals are joined
together. Data/contact closure received status associated with this LED is summarized below.
