Cause
The default LED output names/labels don't accurately describe their function.
Resolution
The "RD Green R1/R2" Outputs represent the reader's LED colour in its "active" state.
By default:
- These outputs are not inverted; (in Programming|Outputs|Options General section, "Invert output" checkbox)
- When the output is activated, the reader's LED is green;
- When the output is deactivated, the reader's LED returns to blue;
The "RD Red R1/R2" Outputs represent the reader's LED colour in its "resting" state.
By default:
- These outputs are inverted
- When the output is activated, the reader's LED colour is also green
- When the output is deactivated, the reader's LED returns to blue
To have the Red LED in the active state, you must add the following to the output's command console
(found in Programming|Outputs|General Commands section): LEDColour = 1, where 1 is Red.
Here is a list of available colours:
- 1= Red
- 2= Amber
- 3= Orange
- 4= Yellow
- 5= Lime
- 6= Green
- 7= Mint
- 8= Turquoise
