POWER UP DIAGNOSTIC FOR 8050/8250 FLASH CODE

On power up, the three LED's on the drive should blink. The drive LED's go off and the center Tri-State LED remains green. The sytem has a built in self diagnostic which can be read in the form of a flash code. In the event of a failure, the 3 LED's will blink in a repetitive sequence. The number of blinks between intervals will indicate the possible location of a failure.
