Status LEDs and Flashing Patterns
The controller is equipped with 3 LEDs. A Green Power LED, a Red/Green Status LED, and a Yellow
Communication LED. After the controller is powered on, the Power LED will tun on, indicating that the
controller is On. The Status LED will be flashing at a two second interval. The flashing pattern and colour
provides operating or exception status information.

Measured Amps
The controller includes Amps sensors in line with the motor terminals and on the battery ground terminals.
Both Motor Amps and Battery Amps are therefore measured with precision.
When motor is rotating, amps are AC. The SBLM2360 measures and is rated based on RMS Amps.
The table below shows the relation between the RMS current and the DC Equivalent in Sinusoidal and
