Hardware Errors
POWER OK LED is Red
The NI 1450 is in one of the following fault conditions:
• Shutdown enabled in software, but ISO Input 11 is not turned on
– ISO Input 11 is used to indicate to the NI 1450 that all external
devices are ready for operation. When ISO Input 11 turns off, the
NI1450 shuts down. Either turn on ISO Input 11 with an external

Note For prototyping when external equipment is unavailable, Viso can be wired to ISO
Input 11 to turn it on.
