Fault code display
The control provides status codes using the LED. Status
codes indicate the state of operation of the unit but do
not represent a fault. The table below describes the LED
displayed during status codes. Status codes will not be
displayed when a fault code is present.

The control provides fault codes using the Status LED.
Table 67 describes the LED displays during fault codes.
Unless otherwise specified, the control provides flashes
that are a 1/3 s on and 1/3 s off for fault codes. The
control only displays a single fault code on the LED. The
control displays the fault code on the LED repeatedly with
a 2 s off period between repetitions of the fault code. If
multiple fault codes are present at the same time, the LED
displays only the most recent fault.
Table 67 shows the number of flashes for the specified
code. For instance, a flash code entry of 3 indicates that
the control energizes the output for three 1/3 s on, 1/3 s
off flashes, waits 2 s, then energizes the output for three
more 1/3 s on, 1/3 s off flashes and repeats.
