Confused by install manual - is flashing green LED on the compartment door normal or abnormal? I'm about ready to call installer for 1st routine maintenance checkup.
System went online Jan 09.

I have two Envision units.
Normal display is green status light blinking.
Sounds like you're just fine.
Best regards,
Bill |

Green Light is normal.. I think it's a green only LED. I was just trying to differentiate between steady green and flashing green. Bill clarified that flashing green is normal in a previous post. That indication isn't quite intuitive, IMHO.  Some of my newer home electronics have a RED LED on steady when the unit is turned off and either the LED is OFF when the component (an HDTV) is turned on. My Blu-Ray player has a solid RED LED when the unit is off (they call it standby) but is illuminated BLUE when power is on.

I think steady green light is normal. Once one of the compressor was red and I knew something is wrong..called the contractor and fixed the problem right away. |

We have a 2 and 3 ton Envision units. Blinking green is normal. Hate it when they get out of sync with each other! I'd like constant green better, but suppose blinking uses less electricity. :-) |

I agree that a blinking OK status light is counter-iintuitive. In my real job I configure graphics for industrial distributed control systems, and it has always been my habit to reserve blinking indicators for items that need attention / intervention. The temptation to configure blingy flames, rotating pump rotors and other flashing or moving objects in their normal state obscures items in need of immediate operator action, with sometimes disastrous consequences
In commercial aviation I've heard this referred to as causing "cockpit resource management problems", in other words, the complexity of the guages and displays detracts from looking out the windshield and properly flying the plane... |

I flew some general aviation. Human factors engineering dictates analog gauges should all point in the same direction for normal reading. That way, a quick scan of the entire panel should easily detect an abnormal reading.
