DIAGNOSTICS

The diagnostics feature of your Golden Companion’s “Rhino” microprocessor- based motor control board functions as follows:

•Any fault condition on the “Rhino” controller or on an associated system will cause the Power-on/diagnostics LED (see figure 43) to flash.

•The flashing of the LED occurs as one flash or as a series of flashes separated by a two-second pause.

•The number of flashes in each series is referred to as the “Flash Code.”

•The flash code indicates the nature of the condition or fault.
