LED SIGNAL	• When the power is turned ON, the red and green LEDs flash for few seconds.
	• During a detection the red LED lights on.
	• During configuration, the red LED flashes a number of times corresponding to the parameter being
	changed (see next table). The green LED flashes a number corresponding to its setting.
