Color-Coding of Indicator Lights
Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C 177
C.4 Color-Coding of Indicator Lights
Adept uses colored lamps and indicators to indicate equipment status. There are two
categories of indicator:
• Operator indicators. These are located on the exterior of the equipment, and form
part of the operator interface. Specifically, the Manual Control Pendant (MCP),
Front Panel (VFP), and the graphics monitor. The colors Yellow, Green, White and
Orange are used.
• Service indicators. These are located on the front panels of the controller VME
modules, and on the amplifier front panels. When the Adept controller is installed
as instructed (inside a recommended enclosure), these indicators are not visible to
the operator.
