Note: As a rule of thumb, all indicator lights except the transmit
ENABLED light - should be ON continuously while the EA_Mobile
is operating. If the remaining lights are off or flickering, you may
need to troubleshoot an error condition. See Appendix A,
“Troubleshooting the EA_Mobile” for details.
[Alarm] SILENCE button
Any new alarm condition (also shown by indicator lights) will activate the audible
alarm.
• If you choose to ignore the problem, you may press the Silence button to
silence the alarm.
Even after you silence the alarm, however, the indicator light will continue to
flash until the actual alarm condition ceases. If the alarm condition persists
or recurs, the audible alarm will sound again.
CHARGE
[Green] Indicates the battery is charging. [Red] Indicates the battery is
discharging.
TEMP
[Green] Indicates the internal temperature of the EA_Mobile is below 130° F. It
should be ON continuously whenever the EA_Mobile is powered.
If this light is flashing or is Red, it indicates the internal temperature has exceeded
the threshold:
• Check the cooling fan. Remove any clogs and reposition the EA_Mobile if
necessary to ensure adequate air circulation to the cooling fan.
• If the fan is operating properly, lower the ambient temperature in the vehicle
either by opening windows or by adjusting the heater or air conditioning
thermostat.
• If the fan is not operating, call Elster’s Service Department.
Warning: If the EA_Mobile overheating conditions cannot be corrected
immediately, shut down the EA_Mobile. Failure to do so may
result in damage to EA_Mobile components.
BATT
[Green] Indicates the internal battery voltage is stable and adequate to power the
EA_Mobile. It should be ON continuously whenever the EA_Mobile is powered.
• If this light is flashing, it indicates the EA_Mobile is running on battery power.
The internal battery is for temporary emergency use only.
Warning: If the BATT light is flashing or is Red, it may indicate the internal
battery has dropped to an unusable voltage. Immediately shut
down the EA_Mobile!
LINE

receptacle is delivering adequate voltage to power the EA_Mobile. The LED
should be ON continuously whenever the EA_Mobile is powered.
If this light is flashing or is Red, it indicates the 12 Volt supply has dropped to an
unusable voltage:
