Abstract

PURPOSE:To identify easily a transmission/reception module in abnormal or faulty state by mounting respectively a light emitting diode to each transmission/ reception module, connecting the module to a proper power supply and emitting light when a fault takes place in each transmission/reception module. CONSTITUTION:The light emitting diode 8 is mounted to the front face of the transmission/reception module 3, coupled with a fault detection circuit of a control circuit 7 and when the fault detection circuit detects the abnormity or fault of the transmission/reception module, an energyzing circuit of a light emitting diode is formed. Further, a battery 9 is used for a power supply of the light emitting diode. Through the constitution above, if an abnormity or fault takes place in a specific transmission/reception module 3, the control circuit 7 detects it and informs it to the controller 5 and the light emitting diode 8 is lighted.
