Page 195 Reading the Diagnostic LED Codes This appendix describes how to interpret the diagnostic LEDs. On the Model 60, the LEDs are located at the control panel on the front of the system box, and on the VLC, the LEDs are located on the back of the system box. The diagnostic LEDs apply to both the Model 60 and the VLC unless stated otherwise.
Page 196: Diagnostic Led Overview
B.1 Diagnostic LED Overview The system uses the eight LEDs on the control panel to indicate the currently executing test. When power is turned on, all the LEDs light (LED code is FF(h)), and then display different codes as the devices are tested. The LED codes are divided into two ﬁelds.
