15.5 OVC LED
The Overcurrent LED (OVC) lights Red when the devices connected to the Keypad Bus and LX-Bus(es) draw more
current than the panel is rated for. The OVC is located above Outputs 1 and 2 on the panel and turns a steady Red
when lit. When the OVC LED lights Red, the LX-Bus(es) and Keypad bus shut down.
J21 Serial Connector
16.1 Description
Note: Only one connector, J21 or J22 can function at a time. Either use J21 to connect a serial device for PC Log
Reporting, or use J22 to connect a DMP Wireless device or an LX-Bus device. Operation is determined by where you
install the jumper on the J23 6-Pin header. The maximum line impedance is 100 Ohms.
