Front Panel Description
Status The green LED lights when the unit is powered and operating normally .The
red LED lights if an alarm exceeding thresholds is detected or another type of
unit failure exists.
ACO This yellow LED illuminate s if the Alarm Cut-Of f switc h is placed in the left
(On) position. It indicates that the alarm relay contacts are disabled.
ACO SW This switch controls the alarm relay circuitry. The left (On) position disables
the alarm relay co ntacts. The right (Off) position enables the contacts to
report alarm conditions.
Activity LEDs These two small, recessed indicators are provided to indicate activity on the
NMS port.
SUPV This 6-pin jack provides direct terminal access for con trolling the unit and
gathering performance data. It functions as PORT 1, therefore you cannot
have Port 1 and the SUPV ports active at the same time. Refer to the Port 1
tables for conf iguring the bit rate and pinout settings fo r the SUPV port.
Important Notice:
When installing the 8100A Site Controller as a rackmounted unit, it must be installed using threadforming screws with external tooth lock washers in
order to meet GR-1089 grounding requirements.
