Status LEDs
The Pulsar Edge controller family provides two separate LED indicators that can be used to
provide a high level first glance local indication at the site of the status of the power system and
its monitored inputs. These LEDs can be configured to assist in providing more specific
indications of the system status. The LEDs provided are used to provide specific indication
concerning the system status as well as a separate indicator for an assigned alarm or alarms. The
alarm LED has factory assigned defaults as indicated in the table below. However, the
assignments to alarms can be customized in the field using the remote interfaces.

Craft Ports
Local and Remote Access Ports
The Galaxy Pulsar Edge provides ports for both local and remote access. Access to these
ports depends on the specific Galaxy Pulsar Edge controller configuration. Various
versions of the Galaxy Pulsar Edge provide front access through a local DB-9 RS232
asynchronous serial port. Asynchronous RS232 connectivity is also available through an
RJ45 receptacle in specific controller configurations. A USB terminal connection is also
provided in specific controller configurations. The Galaxy Pulsar Edge’s integrated
Ethernet port can also be configured to and used for local craft port use. A standard RJ45
connection located is provided for access. Depending on the system, this connection can
be located at the rear or front of the shelf or system. Following are sample depiction of
these interfaces.
