Note: The local control module can be upgraded to a status monitor through the
addition of a transponder core module. The transponder core module plugs directly
onto the local control module’s PWB. The mechanical housing for the status monitor
and the local control module are the same. The Heart Beat, Receive, and Error
indicator LEDs are only present if the transponder module is installed.
