Identifying and Troubleshooting an Alarm
You can identify an alarm locally by viewing the front panel user interface (UI) (see “Front Panel Alarm
Checks” ) or remotely by viewing the remote AUI’s Alarms page (see “Remote AUI Alarms Page Checks”
on page 3.1.7 ).
Front Panel Alarm Checks
There two ways to check for alarms on the front panel:
 Fault LED
 Alarms Screen
Fault LED
See Figure 3.1.1 . The FAULT LED on the right-hand side of the display indicates that a fault is present.
The FAULT LED will be either off or red. When illuminated, the transmitter has encountered a summary
fault. Use the remote AUI or local UI to view the status of the transmitter.
Figure 3.1.1: Transmitter Front Panel (VX1 shown for reference)
When a fault is present, the transmitter may still produce an RF output. In this case, or if the transmitter
has shut down, you should schedule and commence more in-depth fault diagnosis. See
“Alarms Screen”
on page 3.1.5 .
