Strom+ led indicators - fargo - 10-24-2024
Hi Everyone,
I have installed a second strom+ and passive combo in my growing 19" system.
Made new connections yesterday and wanted to know what colour should be the leds:
On one of my strom+ all the leds are GREEN
On my second strom+ the +12v led is RED and the two other leds are GREEN.
Should I be carefull with that or is it ok? Shall I move some modules/connections?
Thanks for your feedbacks!

Hey! Well in general it's definitely better to have them all on GREEN as this indicates that you are well within the current capabilities of the Strom+ module and everything is good.
The Strom+ is able to deliver more power than we specify it for but we only guarantee operation within the limits (as long as the LEDs are not red). Orange color indicates proximity to the limits and red color is over limits. The module might also get hot - depending on cirumcstances (case size, case material, ventilation, ...). So, as long as you're not getting frequent shutdowns, you should be able to get away with an overloaded +12V rail but the recommendation is definitely to have it so that all three LEDs are green.
