(1) Status indicator LEDs (PWR/FLT/RUN)
1) PWR
PWR will be lit in normal state of analog power supply, and will not be lit in abnormal state.
2) FLT
FLT will be lit if an error has occurred in the module.
3) RUN
RUN will be lit in normal state of the module, and will not be lit in abnormal state.
Name Lit ● Not lit ○
PWR Normal state abnormal state
FLT Error occurred Normal state
