Abstract (en)

The system comprises groups (1, 3, 5) of LEDs, the LEDs of each of the groups being connected in series with each other; a direct current power supply (1B, 3B, 5B) is provided for each series; in a microprocessor (9) each of a plurality of inputs is connected to an intermediate point (1C, 3C, 5C) of one of the series of LEDs, so that an interruption of current in one of the series of LEDs or a short-circuit in one LED causes a change in the voltage at the corresponding input of the microprocessor, and a scanning means is used for monitoring the individual inputs by scanning; at the output of said microprocessor, a detector (12) signals this change, during scanning, by means of a relay (12C). <IMAGE>
