6.1.6 Alarm activity
There are 6 alarm activity indicators numbered 1 to 6,
each one will reflect the corresponding alarm being
active on the system. Internal to Sonix there are 6
additional alarms, 7 to 12, that are reflected on the
indicators by flashing the corresponding number. The
flashing is overridden by the higher priority alarm being
active

6.1.7 Beacon activity
The beacon activity indicator has only two states:
Pattern
State
Off
No beacon activity
Solid
A beacon output is active on the system
Table 13 - Beacon activity indicator states
6.1.8 Local Status indicators
The local status indicators are comprised of a pair of Red
and Green LEDs per Sonix bus type.
The bus types covered are as follows:
•
Matrix:
shows status relating to the 2Mx’s
internal monitoring
•
HMI:
shows status relating to all access
panels and Hmi-Tu’s
•
Amplifier:
shows status relating to all amplifiers
•
Beacon :
shows status relating to all beacon
controllers
•
I/O:
shows status relating to all IO Bus
items: Io, MS12, and PBx
•
Power Dist: shows status relating to all power
unit modules
Each LED pair has a set of fixed possible states:
Pattern
State
Both off
Error – not a valid state
Solid Green
Healthy, no issues
Fast Flashing
Green
Duplicate unit ID seen, not affecting system operation
but should be corrected as soon as practicable
Solid Green + Slow
Flashing Red
Healthy but ‘latched’ a previous/temporary fault
Fast Flashing Red
Split loop detected
Solid Red
Fault
Table 14 - Local system status indicator states
For a detailed explanation of the faults and causes please
refer to section 10 and the Sonix Software manual.
6.1.9 Default Config
This indicator is not currently used, reserved for
future expansion.
6.1.10 Global Status
The global status indicators are made up of 3 pairs of
LEDs, one Red and one Green for each of the three
groups:
•
System Sync - Indicates status of the system-system
synchronisation bus
•
N+1 Switchover - Indicates status of 2Mx when
configured in N+1 mode
•
Global Bus - Indicates status of the global bus
The System sync indicators are enabled when the 2Mx
is configured to be part of a connected system e.g. N+1
or AB.
Pattern
State
Off
Global Sync Bus monitoring disabled (both audio and data)
Solid Green
Healthy, no issues

Slow Flashing Red Healthy but ‘latched’ previous/temporary fault
Fast Flashing Red
Split loop detected
Table 15 - System Sync indicator states
The N+1 indicators show the state of N+1 redundancy
fail-over and will depend on whether the 2Mx is
configured as the primary or secondary controller:
Pattern
Primary controller
state
Secondary controller
state
Off
N+1 mode disabled
Solid Green
Primary controller healthy

Solid Green +
Solid Red
Primary controller faulty
and secondary controller
is not detected
Slow Flashing
Green
Secondary controller healthy
in standby
Solid Green +
Slow Flashing
Red

and primary controller is not
detected
Solid Red
Primary controller faulty
BUT secondary controller
is detected
Secondary controller faulty

The N+1 indicators are only active when the 2Mx controller has
been configured in N+1 mode.
