What to do if the Common TROUBLE LED is slowly flashing on my Edwards Signaling 2412?

  Michael NicholsSep 12, 2025
  If the Common TROUBLE LED is slowly flashing, you should first silence the trouble. Then, duplicate fault conditions 3 to 11, one at a time, to see if there is a subsequent trouble. The possible causes include: circuit open, missing or wrong EOL resistor; fuse F1 open; excessive load on auxiliary power terminals; battery lead not connected or open or poorly connected; defective batteries or power supply; battery low and currently charging; new or unresponsive module on power/data bus; Programming Mode Switch in program mode; or battery fuse open.
