Status LEDs

SecureSync's front panel status LEDs provide a real-time status overview: Seven (7) LEDs indicate the unit's current operating state.

Blinking Intervals

The status LEDs can communicate four different operating states:

  • "OFF"
  • "ON"
  • "FAST": blinking interval @ 2Hz
  • "SLOW HEARTBEAT": sinus-shaped interval @ 1Hz

LED Patterns during Boot Sequence

For the first five seconds after power-up all LEDs will be OFF. Then the Power LED will be blinking before it will be lit permanently.

Responding to Alarms

If you are in front of your units, the fastest way to determine the origin of alarms is to press the button that is flashing; this will automatically bring up the menu of the category with a difficulty. See Front Panel Keypad, and Display for more information.
