Control Unit
The Control Unit (CU) functions to control the flow of electronic signals through the system and
provides the low voltage electricity supply for most of the equipment. The unit also incorporates a
backup power supply that will keep the system operational, for more than 7 hours following a failure
of the mains supply. As a rule, the CU does not require any attention. However, it may become
necessary to restart the CU should power be lost for any reason. The CU control panel and
instructions for turning the unit on are described below.
Turning the Control Unit on
The control unit has two controls: a mains power switch and a battery in circuit switch. Under normal
circumstances both switches should be on and illuminated. If either switch is in the off position, the
unit must be switched on in the following way:
1.
Put both switches into the off position (this turns the control unit off).
2.
Press the mains power switch to on (downwards) the switch will illuminate.
3.
Press the battery switch to on (down towards the “1” mark), the red light will turn on.
4.
The system is now powered.
