FRONT PANEL LEDS
There are three front panel LEDs. Shown below is the default status of
the LEDs.
1. The operator interface is shipped without a configuration. After downloading
a configuration, if the light remains in the flashing state continuously, try
cycling power. If the LED still continues to flash, try downloading a
configuration again.
2. Do not turn off power to the unit while this light is flickering. The unit
writes data in two minute intervals. Later Microsoft operating systems will
not lock the drive unless they need to write data; Windows 98 may lock the
drive any time it is mounted, thereby interfering with logging. Refer to
“Mounting the CompactFlash” in the Crimson 2 User Manual.
CRIMSON SOFTWARE
Crimson software is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website or
it can be purchased on a CD, see “Ordering Information” for part number. The
latest version of the software is always available from the website, and updating
your copy is free.
KEYPAD
The G303 keypad consists of five unique key types. There are eight
legendable keys (refer to “User Legendable Keys” for more information). A five
key navigational keypad area. A twelve key numeric keypad with ± and decimal
point. Three soft keys for on-screen menu selections. And, four keys labeled
ALARMS, MUTE, EXIT, and MENU.

DH485 COMMUNICATIONS
The G303’s RS422/485 COMMS port can also be used for Allen Bradley
DH485 communications. When this port is configured to communicate DH485,
the RS232 COMMS port can not be used because the ports share the same
hardware and the G303 multiplexes the ports to communicate via two protocols.
WARNING: DO NOT use a standard DH485 cable to connect this port to Allen
Bradley equipment. A cable and wiring diagram are available from Red Lion.
