Figure 7-6 Gate LEDs
If the gate LED is off then the gate either does not contain a rack, or the rack
is not being accessed by the Sorter.
If the gate LED is continuously on then there is a processing error associated
with that rack.
If the gate LED is flashing then the Sorter is about to pick from or place to the
rack.
The STAT well has a green LED on the last gate. This behaves the same as the
other gate LEDs.
Never remove a rack while the gate LED is flashing.
