3. FEEDER STATUS LED - A two color LED that

indicates system errors. The Power Wave R500 is
equipped with two indicators. One is for the invert-
er power source, while the other indicates the sta-
tus of the feeder control system. Normal operation
is a steady green light. For more information and a
detailed listing, see the troubleshooting section of
this document or the Service Manual for this
machine. (See Troubleshooting Section for
operational functions.)

NOTE: The Power Wave R500 status light will flash
green, and sometimes red and green, for up to one
minute when the machine is first turned on. This is a
normal situation as the machine goes through a self
test at power up.
