Sonix 2Mx Technical Manual

SONIX 2MX TECHNICAL MANUAL  

TM370 / A  June 2022  www.eaton.com

10.1  Fast flashing green indicator - Duplicate unit

Fast flashing green indicators are informing the user of 

the presence of duplicate Unit IDs.

To rectify the problem, ensure that all connected units 

on the bus have a unique identifier.

10.2  Fast flashing Red indicator - Split loop

A fast flashing red indicator is informing the user of a 

split loop situation.

A split loop is caused by the 2Mx controller detecting 

that either Data or Audio or both is no longer a complete 

loop.

ote: 

N

Audio faults can take up to a minute to clear once the issue is 

corrected.

Suggested corrective actions:

• 

Check that every CAT6A cable on the associated bus 

is correctly inserted and locked

• 

Ensure every unit on the bus is powered correctly

• 

Check SAS for information on which fault is active

• 

Units can individually report port errors, allowing 

faster diagnostics of fault location

• 

Ensure CAT6A cables are configured to be a complete 

loop

Check that fault monitoring hasn’t been enabled for 

an un-used bus

10.3  Slow flashing Red and solid Green 

indicators – Historic fault

Solid Green combined with a slow flashing red indicator 

is informing the user that there was an issue on the 

associated bus but it has been resolved.

To diagnose the issue, users will need to study the log 

included with SAS, assuming that the software was 

attached to the PA/GA system during the fault situation. 

See SAS manual for more information. 

ote: 

N

Global Fault reset on the 2Mx is the only way to clear the indicator.

10.4  Solid Red indicator

A solid red indicator is shown when there is an active 

fault on the associated bus. 

Most faults that cause solid red indicators are either field 

wiring or equipment issues.

Suggested corrective actions:

• 

Check front panels of associated bus units for further 

indications 

• 

Check SAS for information on which fault is active

• 

Missing units are only detailed on SAS

• 

Check for active work permits on power supplies, 

field cabling etc., isolating cabling can cause faults to 

be detected

ote: 

N

Missing unit faults can occur during configuration if a unique ID 

is changed (see section 8.7.2).

11  Maintenance

The following maintenance program represents the 

minimum requirements for Sonix 2Mx.

WARNING

POWER OFF THE SYSTEM BEFORE PROCEEDING .

NOTICE

DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS, WATER, AGGRESSIVE 
CLEANING AGENTS OR SOLVENT TO CLEAN THE UNIT

• 

Check the unit for visible damage (scratches, bumps)

• 

Check unit fixing to rack – tighten loose screws 

• 

Check connections and cable integrity - replace 

damaged cables, tighten Phoenix connectors loose 

screws

• 

Remove dust and dirt from front panel - Clean with a 

dry cloth.
