Table 10 LED Indicators
POWER
The green Power LED turns on when power is connected and the device is
connected to a Federal Signal enabled network server. The Power LED flashes on
for 100 ms when the unit is disconnected from the server.
ALERT
The red Alert LED flashes on and off at a ½ second interval when the Informer
receives an alert. The LED is reset when the RESET/TEST button is pressed or a
reset command is sent from a control station. The unit may also give a series of loud
beeps and open the channel to provide an alert message.
IMPORTANT
: Immediately respond as instructed to an alert message.
TEST
The yellow Test LED turns on Steady when a Quiet Test function is executed. The
LED is reset when RESET/TEST button is pressed or a reset command is received
from a control station. The LED flashes on and off at a 1/10 second rate indicating
the unit has been reset to factory defaults and requires configuration. The unit does
not attempt to connect to a parent server when this LED is flashing. If the Informer
detects a failure, the Test LED flashes once per second. If this occurs, contact your
local distributor or service center for repair.
NOTE
: Informers in Test Mode programmed as site 0, automatically perform a
system reset every 5 minutes. This is normal behavior.
Keypad
The Informer includes a four-button membrane keypad with a tactile feel and three
diagnostic LEDs.
Adjusting the Volume
The Informer provides the ability to control the sound volume of tone and voice
messages heard over the speaker. You cannot adjust the alert beep volume.
To adjust the volume, press the MONITOR button to listen to the radio channel.
Then, press the
VOLUME
(up arrow)
button to increase the sound volume. Press
the
VOLUME
(down arrow)
button to decrease the volume.
A beep is heard indicating the current volume level each time the VOLUME buttons
are pressed. Holding down either arrow allows you to “scroll” to the highest or lowest
volume levels.
If you do not hear any audio when you press the MONITOR button, there may be no
radio traffic currently being broadcast. If the MONITOR button is held down for over
five seconds, the radio squelch is opened and noise is heard over the speaker if no
radio traffic is present. Press the RESET/TEST button to return the Informer to
standby mode.
