LED Definition

This LED will be illuminated solid green when control power is present and
with the correct polarity.
Run
This LED will be illuminated solid green when a start command and control
power are present.
Network
This bi-color LED is used to indicate the status of the communications
network. See the Network Status LED table below for additional information.
Fault
This LED is used to indicate the fault status of the ArmorStart. When the unit is
faulted, the unit will respond with a specific blink pattern to identify the fault.
See the Fault LED table below for additional information.
Network Status LED Definition Possible Causes
Off The device has not completed the initialization, is not on an
active network, or may not be powered up.
Check to make sure the product is properly wired and
configured on the network.
Flashes green-red-off While waiting to detect the network baud rate, the LED will
flash this pattern about every 3 seconds.
If the product stays in this state it means that there is no set
baud rate. Insure that at least one device on the network
has a set baud rate.
Solid Green The device is operating in a normal condition, and is
communicating to another device on the network.
No action required.
Flashing Green The ArmorPoint module cannot successfully establish a
connection on the backplane.
The wrong connection parameter for the ArmorStart was
entered in the “Module Properties” page in RSLogix5000 or
the I/O Tree was not properly configured.
Flashing Red The ArmorPoint module has stopped communicating over
the backplane with ArmorStart.
Check control power connections to the ArmorPoint Module
and ArmorStart.
Solid Red Backplane media issue. Check backplane media and ArmorStart backplane cable
connections.
Flashing Red and Green The device is in a communication faulted state. Power cycling the device may resolve the problem;
however, if the problem continues, it may be necessary to
contact Technical Support.
