LED DIAGNOSTICS
e 1253 controller has a Status LED output that can be used to drive an ex-
ternal LED. is Status LED displays fault codes when there is a problem with
the controller or with the inputs to the controller. During normal operation,
with no faults present, the Status LED ashes steadily on and o.
If the controller detects a fault, a 2-digit fault identification code is ashed
continuously until the fault is corrected. For example, code “3,2”—welded main
contactor—appears as:
¤¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤¤ ¤¤
( 3 , 2 ) ( 3 , 2 ) ( 3 , 2 )
e codes are listed in Table 6.

to the troubleshooting chart (Table 5) for suggestions about possible causes of
the various faults.
