Fan Alarm
This allows the user to disable the fans currently running on the unit. If a single power supply is fitted,
there will be 1 fan fitted, if dual power supplies are fitted, then 2 fans will be fitted.
This option will disable any fans which are fitted. So if it is a single PSU unit, one fan will be disabled and
if it is a dual PSU unit, both fans will be disabled.
5.5.23.
Switch Box
The user can enable APT SwitchBox (separate hardware) control from here. If On is selected, the user is
prompted for a timeout in seconds from 5 to 30 seconds. This means that if the switchbox is connected
via a suitable cable to the alarm outputs of the Equinox/Astral codec, in the event of an alarm condition,
the unit will switch to another Equinox connected to the switchbox using the alarm outputs.
