6.3 Power-up Sequence
When the M2TE is first powered on, the local control panel LED is displayed in the following manner.
It will give you an indication that all systems are up and operating normally. Each new set of lights
indicate a different system check is completed. Full power up initialization should only take
approximately 15 seconds.
1) Step 1 – The red ERROR LED starts blinking immediately when power is first applied to the
M2TE. It keeps on blinking during the first part of the initialization process and then follows
the column LEDs ON and OFF initialization (see step 2 below) until full initialization of the
unit. It turns OFF if all systems are good to go (and doesn’t find any faults). If it remains ON
after full power up (after step 3 below) then this is an indication to the user of a fault
condition. The Status page in the LAN GUI is the easiest ways to find out what the fault
condition may be. Reference section 7.6
2) Step 2 -- A column at a time lights up then turns OFF. Starting with all “STATUS” LEDs, all
“MODE” LEDs, Numbered LEDs 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and finally 16-20. Lastly all columns of LEDS
light at the same time and then go out.
3) The CFG GRPS LED turns on and the M2TE’s current configuration group LED lights up. Any
other STATUS LED turns on as it would in normal operation mode.
