CASE FRONT CONTROLS

All operator controls and adjustments are located on the case front of the Power Wave 455m (CE). (See

Figure B.1)

1.POWER SWITCH: Controls input power to the Power Wave.

2.STATUS LIGHT: A two color light that indicates system errors. Normal operation is a steady green light. Error conditions are indicated, per table 3.

NOTE: The Power Wave 455M (CE) status light will flash green, and sometimes red and green, for up to one minute when the machine is first turned on. This is a normal situation as the machine goes through a self test at power up.
