The device has not completed the initialization, is
not on an active network, or may not be powered
up.
Check to make sure the product is properly wired
and configured on the network.

While waiting to detect the network baud rate, the
LED will flash this pattern about every 3 seconds.
If the product stays in this state, it means that there
is no set baud rate. Ensure that at least one device
on the network has a set baud rate.

The device is operating in a normal condition, and
is on-line, but has no connection to another device.

establish a connection on the backplane.
The wrong connection parameter for the
ArmorStart was entered in the “Module Properties”
page in RSLogix™ 5000 or the I/O Tree was not
properly configured.
Flashing Red
The ArmorPoint module has stopped
communicating over the backplane with
ArmorStart.
Check control power connections to the ArmorPoint
Module and ArmorStart.
