Meanings of the LEDs

In the following sections we will use different terms to describe the behaviour of the LEDs:

Blinking means, that the LED is switched on or off at regular intervals in the respective indicated colour.

Flashing means, that the LED lights up very briefly in the respective col- our and stay then clearly longer (approximately 10x longer) switched off. Inverse flashing means the opposite. The LED lights permanently in the respective colour and is only briefly interrupted.

Flickering means, that the LED is switched on and off in irregular inter- vals.

Power

This LED indicates that the device is operational. After the device has been

 

switched on, it will flash green for the duration of the self-test. After the self-

 

test, either an error is output by a flashing red light code or the device starts

 

and the LED remains lit green.
