LED will begin to flash the normal operation code, an
unsuccessful calibration will yield a Red-Green-Red-
Green flash immediately following the attempted
calibration (for more information on the Status LED
flash codes see the Status LED Flash Code Table).

Status LED
The “Status LED” is a bi-color LED which provides detailed information regarding the operation of the S70 Servo Pro.
Table 2 below illustrates the different combinations of LED flash codes and their corresponding conditions. Following
the table is a more descriptive explanation of the Flash Code. Whenever the LED is flashing green, regardless of
the flash code, the servo will operate, but not necessarily optimally. Whenever the LED flash codes are RED, the
servo will not operate. An example is an engaged handwheel, the Status LED will flash a single red flash code and
will not operate.

Note: A flashing green LED provides status and warning information. The servo will operate normally in this state. Some flash
codes indicate a warning, where the servo has recovered automatically such as the detection of an invalid calibration. In this case,
a default calibration is automatically loaded that will allow the Servo to operate, but may not be a perfect match to the actuator.
The servo should be re-calibrated as soon as possible.
