Brent Crude:
That LED is the one that flashes green when the probe is on and red when it is triggered.

Spent a bit of time this afternoon writing a little program in the Siemens rather arcane '@ functions' to try the probe under program control. As usual all rather unsettling for first time running as you're expecting the probe to be crushed into oblivion any minute  :bugeye:
