8  Operation Instructions

8.1  Panel Operation

8.1.1  Speaker

The internal speaker only outputs detected horn signals. The speaker is 

muted on standby.

8.1.2  Indicators 

The panel has LED indicators for direction of the received sound signal. 

Together it makes a circle of 8 red LEDs. The LED will be ON for the 

period of the sound 2 seconds. 
System and power LED (green) is lit steadily when the system is 

functional with no errors. A fault in the system will make the system 

LED flash. If the fault is in one of the microphones, the corresponding 

microphone LED will be flashing as well. Faulty flashing frequency for 

both LEDs is 200ms toggle.

The system LED indicates active override function by flashing. Override 

flashing frequency is 1s toggle. 

8.1.3  Dimmer

The panel has dimmer control on the front panel to adjust the light 

intensity of the LEDs. It is not possible to turn it completely off. Dimmer 

control is via the + and – buttons.

8.1.4  Volume Control 

The panel consists of one internal loudspeaker. 

There is only a single volume control affecting signals reproduced from 

the microphones equally. The volume control can be adjusted and set 

to an SPL of an incoming signal at least 10dBA above ambient bridge 

noise, which itself is a maximum of 65dBA. Volume is adjusted by 

pressing either of the two buttons (up or down) reserved for this. 
Speaker level is indicated by the 8 LEDs. When pressing the button, 

the level will show in the LEDs and will turn off again when pressing has 

stopped. After level adjustment, the system will automatically return to 

normal operation mode.
The volume level has eight steps indicating from 1 to 8 LEDs lit, 8 being 

maximum volume and 1 the minimum. This can be shown by pressing 

the volume buttons. When powering on the system or making an off/on 

cycle, the volume will be set at default level.
