DIAGNOSTICS
LED DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostic LED on the Remote unit circuit board flashes different patterns to give information about what
the device is connected to. Most of the information is related to what the unit detects on the sensor cable
interface.
The diagnostic LED will automatically start the flashing pattern shortly after powering on the Remote unit, and
once the Remote unit has finished scanning all the attached cables and accessories. The flashing pattern will
continue to repeat (skipping the channel number) until the Remote unit connects to a Master unit.
The diagnostic LED flashes different colors to convey different information. Red flashes indicate what
equipment is being scanned, and orange and green flashes indicate the number of items. The LED will flash red
first, and then orange and/or green. The process will repeat until all the information has been communicated.
LED FLASH SEQUENCE
The diagnostic LED will only flash a specific number of red flashes if the corresponding number is not zero. For
example, if there are no moisture cables connected to the Master unit, the LED will not flash three red flashes. If
