LED FUNCTIONS
LED 1 and 2
The relays on the transceiver have LED’s. On the 2-
pole transceiver, these are marked Relay 1, (1), and
Relay 2, (2). When the corresponding LED is on, the
relay is energized and should be closed. When the
corresponding LED is off, the relay is not energized
and should be open.
LED 3
When set up as a transmitter, LED 3, (3), blinks OFF
and ON in 4 second intervals with a percentage of ON
time as based on the outdoor temperature. The graph
below illustrates the percent of time the LED is ON at
various temperatures.
The warmer the outside temperature, the longer the
LED stays ON. At 65° F or warmer, the LED is ON
solid.
When the operation mode is receiver, LED 3 indicates
when the PLC signal reception is established from the
transmitting device. It blinks OFF-and-ON slowly then
increasingly faster until it is ON solid. ON solid
indicates that PLC reception is “locked in”.
NOTE: It can take 2-3 minutes for PLC signal
reception when using a “fast” channel and
7-10 minutes when using a “slow”
channel.
LED 4
LED 4, (4), responds to the power company’s control
signal.
• OFF when receiving an off-peak signal
• ON solid if an override switch is enabled
• blinking OFF and ON according to the type of
signal being received from the control device.
This graph illustrates the time, in seconds, the LED is
OFF-and-ON during various types of signal periods.
NOTE: Power company peak signal overrides
anticipated-peak and/or setback signals.
