Controller Board Dip Switch and LED Indication

Introduction
There are LED indicators on the controller board that indicate the system’s components status.
These LED indicators are controlled by DIP switches. The DIP switches turn the LED indicators ON and OFF in order
to prevent any light from penetrating the system during a scan cycle.
To turn ON the LED indicators, move the DIP switch to the ON position.
Important
The LED indicators should be turned ON using the DIP switch only when testing the controller board function.
Make sure to turn the LED indicator(s) OFF following the test to prevent any light from penetrating the system during
a scan cycle.
