  Joanne SosaAug 17, 2025
  If the Alarm LED (red) is ON in your Honeywell Control Systems, it could be due to a hardware problem, a fault in the application, or the controller being powered up without an application, or the operator has manually stopped the application. Try powering down and then powering up the CLLIONLC01. If the problem continues, check and reload the application if necessary. If the problem persists even after that, consider replacing the hardware.

  Mark WhiteAug 19, 2025
  If the Power LED (green) is flashing on your Honeywell Control Systems, it indicates that one or more of the internal voltage supplies are outside of the permissible ranges, causing the controller to stop operation. You should check the power and wiring. If the problem persists after checking these, consider replacing the hardware.

  kristinnguyenSep 2, 2025
  If the LONWORKS Service LED is on during power up/reset of your Honeywell Control Systems, it indicates that the node lacks application, possibly due to neuron chip firmware mismatch on application checksum. To resolve this: * Using EXCELON, set the module to 'configured online'. * If the problem persists, the MIP software on LW interface has been erased due to wrong setting performed using ECHELON tool: Replace the hardware.
