16.3 Diagnosis through the command station
LEDs of the command station produce flashes to show operating conditions, warning and failure conditions.
LED indications
When it
happens
Meaning/problem What to do
All LEDs are blinking with 1°
flash long and 2° flash long
At power
up
Command station configured for
installations with 1 engine
If you need to reconfigure the
command station, see section
4.3
All LEDs are blinking with
1° flash short and 2° flash long
Command station configured for
installations with 2 engines and
1 actuator
All LEDs are blinking with
1° flash short and 2° flash short
Command station configured for
installations with 2 engines and
2 actuators
The 2 green LEDs show a
steady light when the levers are
in neutral
After
power up
Gearboxes are in neutral and
the installation works correctly
The 2 green LEDs are switched
off, even if the levers are in
neutral
Power supply is missing
Check if the display on the
actuator is enlightened:
• if YES, verify the
connection of CANBus data
transmission cable;
• if NO, check the electrical
installation (chapter 8)
One of the green LEDs is
switched off, even if its
corresponding lever is in neutral
The push-pull cable of the gear-
box hasn’t come to the assigned
neutral position (actuators with
mechanical interface)
Check and remove the obstacle
which doesn’t permit the actua-
tor to go to neutral position (see
chapters 10 and 11)
Green LED is blinking with duty
cycle: 90% On and 10% Off
Command station is not
configured correctly with
respect to the type of
installation; command station
has been configured for
installations with 1 actuator and
it must be configured for
installations with 2 actuators
Reconfigure command station
as described at section 4.3
The green LED is slowly blinking
(2 s period) with duty cycle: 50%
On and 50% Off
There might be a problem on
the position measuring device

LEDs are blinking according to
the following combinations:
• Engine_left (green) + Wrm/
Sync(yellow)
• Cmd (red) + Engine_right
(green)
• All the 4 LEDs together
There is a failure on mechanical
actuators, probably due to:
• an extra load on push-pull
cables
• wrong setting of the
pushpull cable strokes
Go to the actuator’s display and
check which is the cable that has
generated the failure. On the
display is shown the message “E”
or “P” on the side where it has
occurred the failure (see section
16.1.3), then:
• replace the defective push-
pull cable
• re-program the strokes of
the push-pull cables (see
chapters 10 and 11)
