LiAM User's Manual
"Activity" LED
The LEDs are indicators of the power supply status and have to be interpreted
as follows:
 FAULT LED: the
generic fault that can be either an internal protection trip or an external
interlock intervention. This light does not turn off after a fault until a unit
status register reset has been performed and the cause of the fault has been
removed;
 DIAGNOSTICS LED: the
control electronics at every diagnostic routine execution. If this LED is not
toggling between on and off state, the internal diagnostics is not correctly
executed by the module;
 AC OK LED: the
modules are correctly working;
 OUTPUT LED: the
and it is correctly regulating the output current;
It is important to notice that the blue OUTPUT light and the red FAULT light
cannot be on at the same moment because the module cannot correctly regulate output
current if a fault is experienced and the output stage of the power supply is turned off.
The "RESET" hole, accessible by using a small screw-driver, allows
performing a re-initialization of the LiAM internal firmware.
