 Tracy,

I didn’t initially hook up the alarm light on my system as = I was concerned that it would be going off all the time while I got everything working.  Well today I hooked it up.  I wired P3-10 to the = positive on a 5V LED and P3-2 to the negative side.  When I turned the EM-2 = on, the light did not light.  The voltage was low and was flashing, but the = alarm light was silent on the issue.  I did not have the EC-2 turned on = and the engine was (of course) not running.  Just the EM-2 was = on.

 

Is this expected behavior?  I thought the alarm would go = off if anything was out of its setting.  The voltage was low so at least something was out.  (I am not concerned about this as I have a low = voltage monitor which was telling me at the time that I had low = voltage.)

 

Thanks,
