LEDs on the VE.bus BMS

Dear All,

On the VE.bus BMS are three LEDs. The two at the bottom I understand, this tells something about the voltage of the Cells in the connected Lithium batteries.
But what does the one higher up means? (just below the VE.bus connector.)
The manual say:

LED indicators
- Enabled (blue): VE.Bus products are enabled.

But what does this mean?.

Maybe someone can explain this with some more words than are written in the manual?

thank you, Rob

Some official documentation on this would be helpful.

We found that in a system with a Multiplus, BMS and CCGX, connecting the CCGX to the "remote" input on the BMS makes this LED turn off and appears to prevent the Multiplus from restarting after it has been turned off using its front panel rocker switch. Connecting the CCGX directly to the Multiplus meant this LED stays on and the inverter would restart correctly.
