5 System Diagnostics
Perform System diagnostics by using the status and diagnostics indicators on the control module and sensors, or by using
the diagnostics software routine, or by a combination of the two.
5.1 Diagnostic Indicators
Bright, easy-to-see LED indicators on both sensors and on the front panel of the control module provide an ongoing display
of the system's operating status.

Figure 25. A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY System Diagnostics and Status Indicators
Note: Status indicators appear to freeze if the controller has been configured for Gate or Host mode, and
no signal is present to cause a scan update.
Control Module
OUTPUT (red): Displays the status of Discrete Output #1.
ALARM (red): Displays the status of Discrete Output #2. This output may be assigned to an analysis mode, or it may be
used as a system diagnostics alarm or as a trigger alarm to gate another A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY System.
GATE (red): Displays the status of the gate input.
ALIGN (green): Indicates proper emitter/receiver alignment and a clear, unblocked light screen. This indicator is ON when
either the green or both the green and yellow LEDs of the receiver are ON.
Diagnostics Indicator: This bright, segmented LED display on the control module front panel indicates one of ten system
status conditions, plus the presence or absence of blanking. Blanking ON causes a period to appear in the Diagnostics
Indicator window, in addition to the System's other status condition. See the table for the key to these error types and
status conditions; this chart is also located on the side of the control module.
