LED color Description Alarm

Red, stable Critical alarm affecting the whole RF module or all antenna carriers Fault

Red, blinking Operation degraded Major/critical alarm

• Major alarm affecting the whole RF Module
• Major alarm affecting the whole RF Module
• Major/Critical alarm affecting a module subcomponent or
antenna carrier

Yellow, stable No alarm

• Until software download begins
• The carriers are blocked from BTS
• There is no connection to any System Module

Yellow, blinking No alarm

• Software download in progress
• Configuration in progress: RF resources are being setup, but
not yet activated

Green, stable No alarm

• Software configuration is complete or supervisory: RF
resources activated and transmission is possible
• Working normally, no alarm on the RF Module

Green, blinking Software downloading and updating No alarm

Stable Red for less than 5 seconds and changes to Switched ON, but the next conditions are not reached yet No alarm
Stable Yellow

Stable Red for less than 5 seconds The module is in the process of resetting No alarm

Periodic Red and Green Antenna line faulty/degraded due to external factors (for example, VSWR Alarm
minor/major values exceeded, Antenna line device faulty/degraded)

Blinking Colors (Red, Yellow, and Green), each color Module highlighting (Flexi BTS SM functionality that can help identifying No alarm
stable for 0.5 second faulty module)

RF Module fan/TX status LED: Red At least one fan is faulty or degraded -

RF Module fan/TX status LED: Green All fans are working -

RF Module fan/TX status LED: Color set according to RF transmission is ON -

Warnings, cautions or notes related to the product

WARNING! Risk of electric shock!
Before turning RF power on, RF ports have to be terminated by nominal 50 Ω load (for example, feeder with antenna). However, if these conditions are not met, the plastic caps that
are delivered within the unused RF ports should remain in place. The plastic caps isolate RF power from the environment, and thus provide electric shock security in case RF power is
accidentally on.

Note: The minimum startup voltage is 40.5 V DC. If the input voltage is below/beyond extended limits, unit might shut down.
