Front Panel LED Indicators

The behavior of the eight front panel LEDs adjacent to the keypad indicate the operation status of
the CDM-710, and are described as follows:
LED
UNIT STATUS
Tx STATUS
Rx STATUS

STORED EVENT
TRANSMITTER ON
REMOTE
TEST MODE
IMPORTANT
COLOR CONDITION/STATE

Local monitoring is possible, but no local control.
Off The Unit is in Local Mode – remote monitoring is possible, but no remote control.

In general, the Alarm relay state will reflect the
state of the Front Panel LEDs. For instance, if the
Unit Status LED is red, the Unit Alarm relay will
be active, etc. The one exception is the Transmit
Traffic relay; this will only be activated if a
Transmit Traffic Fault exists – it does not reflect
the state of the Tx carrier.
