C communications bus and relay board are functioning properly.
12.2.1. MOTHERBOARD STATUS INDICATOR (WATCHDOG)
DS5, a red LED on the upper portion of the motherboard, just to the right of the CPU board, flashes when the
CPU is running the main program. After power-up, DS5 should flash on and off about once per second. If
characters are written to the front panel display but DS5 does not flash then the program files have become
corrupted. Contact Teledyne API’s Customer Service department.
If DS5 is not flashing 30 - 60 seconds after a restart and no characters have been written to the front panel
display, the firmware may be corrupted or the CPU may be defective. If DS5 is permanently off or permanently
on, the CPU board is likely locked up and should the analyzer not respond (either with locked-up or dark front
panel), then replace the CPU.
