4.2.4 Checking Status LED of Detector
Power LED
The power LED indicates the power status information which is permitted to the detector in green.
The power LED lights up when the power is permitted normally.
If the detector is connected with a tether interface, the power LED lights up when power is permitted
to SCU because the detector is supplied power from SCU.
Active LED
The active LED indicates status information about the possibility that the detector can be used
normally or not in orange.
The active LED is blinking when the detector is completed to boot up normally.
The Power LED is blinking when the detector turns to sleep mode.
The active LED is blinking when the wireless communication is being initialized.
Data LED
The data LED indicates status information of data processing in blue.
The data LED lights up when the detector is available to make data communication.
The data LED is blinking while the detector transmits or saves data.
Detector AP LED
The AP LED lights up in blue when the detector AP is on.
The AP LED is blinking in blue when the detector switches the AP status.
The AP LED is blinking in orange while the detector is synchronizing the wireless settings.
The communication status of detector is indicated when the detector AP is off.
Wirelss communication: Green LED at the 3rd level or higher / Orange LED under 2nd level.
Wired communication: Green LED in case of 1Gbps / Orange LED in case of 100Mbps connection.
