The red LED indicates proper control voltage and will remain on unless a control voltage problem occurs. At startup a 5 second delay occurs while the board conducts an internal timer check. A short beep occurs when the power switch is turned OFF.

The green LEDs 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the board is 1, 4, 3, 2. For more information, see "II.B. Sequence of Operation."
