Interface Port on page 217 for pinout assignments.
11 ACO/LT — The Alarm Cutoff/Lamp Test button verifies the operability of LEDs. 
When you press and hold this button for three seconds, all LEDs on all 
chassis modules (see exceptions below) should temporarily illuminate 
and blink until the button is released. The ACO/LT button tests the 
functionality and operability of all LEDs on the chassis and components 
of the chassis. If any LED does not illuminate and blink, the LED may 
not be functioning correctly.
This button also turns off all external alarm relay control bits until the 
next new alarm condition.
Exceptions:
The LT has no affect on:
• the back-lit product name, which is always on when a PSU is 
installed and running
• Pwr/Stat LED on the CPM 
12 1PPS Port Timing output with subminiature version B (SMB) connector. The 1PPS 
port is reserved for future use.
