FAULT yellow This indicates a generic «failure status» within the system.
See the FAULTS menu of the VA-500 to identify the failed components.
FAULT COM. yellow This indicates a lack of communication of data between the station in question and the
VA-500. See the FAULTS menu of the VA-500 to identify the failed.
FAULT UNIT yellow This indicates a generic failure of the station in question. See the FAULTS menu of the
VA-500 to identify the failed components.
DISABLE yellow This signals an active «disabled status». It indicates the presence of at least one zone to
which sending of emergency messages is not envisaged.
BUSY yellow This LED flashes on stand-by: it indicates that another station with a lower priority is occu-
pying the system.
Flashing: during a broadcast call, it indicates the duration of the chime signal.
Steady ON: this indicates that another station with a higher priority is occupying
the system.
ALARM Red This indicates an «alarm status» existing within the system.
LOCAL POWER green This indicates the presence of the local DC power supply applied to the external
socket of the station.
REMOTE POWER green This indicates the presence of the power supply provided by the VA-500 through the
CAT5 cable.
RUN / SET green Flashing: this indicates that the station is working correctly and operating normally.
Steady: this indicates that the station configuration stages is active (SET).
N.B.: For further information about the operating states of the system, consult the «Operating conditions and Terminology»
section of the VA-500 operating instruction. Various different types of use can be identified:
• Sending of emergency messages in the live mode
