The green Status LED indicates whether the controller has power applied
to it. Table 17 describes Status LED activity.
Comm LED

“Interpreting EX2 LEDs” on page 79.
Table 17. Green Status LED
LED activity Explanation
LED is on continuously Power is on (normal operation).
LED blinks (¼ second on,
¼ second off for 10 seconds)
The auto-wink option is activated, and the

Table 18. Yellow Comm LED
LED activity Explanation
LED is off continuously The controller is not detecting any communica-
tion (normal for stand-alone applications).
LED blinks The controller detects communication (normal
for communicating applications, including data
sharing).
LED is on continuously An abnormal condition that may occur during
discovery. The LED may flash fast enough to
look as if it is on continuously. If this LED activity
occurs at any other time, the site may have
excessive radio frequency interference (RFI).
