    G540 Power LED

    Hello,

    Trying to get a G540 running and have a few questions:

    1) The power LED is not lighting (but the fault LED is on RED). I assume the power LED should be on whenever the G540 has power (even if it's in fault). Is this true?

    2) How can I determine which rev of the G540 I have? There is no serial number or rev number on the unit that I can see, but there is a hand-written "I9" on one end of the front panel. Also, there is a front-panel mounted charge pump slide switch, if that matters.

    Thanks for any info.

    - Steve

    Steve,

    The green light will not come on until the G540 eStop switch is connected and it see's a charge pump signal. (unless the charge pump switch is turned off) .

    If it has a 9 written on the front cover it is relatively new.

    I just finished a conversion a few weeks ago and the customer purchased directly from Gecko within the last 2 months.

    Jeff...
