1.4.1 LEDGUARD
®
LED FIELD SIGNAL SENSING
The Eberle Design SSM-LE Series can be configured to use a technique called LEDguard
®
that is designed to better monitor the characteristics of LED based signal loads (See
Section 5.4.2). Each field signal input is measured and compared to both a high threshold
and a low threshold value to determine On / Off status. This differs from conventional
standard NEMA operation where the active threshold is picked according to the color of the
field signal. Once the high and low On / Off thresholds (Section 7.1.2) have been
determined using the input RMS voltage, the individual fault monitor functions use the
appropriate threshold to determine if a fault condition exists.
