  • ERROR is lit continuously, RUN blinks - the unit has no connection with the monitoring unit.

  • ERROR is continuously lit, RUN repaid - extension unit communicates with a monitoring unit, but it is not included in the monitoring system (not configured).

  • ERROR repaid, RUN lights up continuously - the extension unit is included in the work as part of a monitoring system.

Indication

The VT408 expansion module has two RUN and ERROR LEDs that show the following states:

  • ERROR continuously lit, RUN flickers - the expansion module has no connection with the master module
  • ERROR is continuously lit, RUN is extinguished - the expansion module has communication with the master module, but is not included in the monitoring system (not configured)
  • ERROR is extinguished, RUN is continuously lit - the expansion module is included in the monitoring system

CAN setting

The extension module has a built-in element:

  • Power -  the element of relay
    This element, by designation, is identical to the Analog Power element of the monitoring module. It turns on or off the power of the analog sensors.
    The analog sensor power off for a few seconds is used to reset the alarm of the VT560 smoke detectors connected to the VT408 expansion module.
    Warning: when the analog sensors are powered off, all external sensors connected to the VT408 cease to function.

    The analog sensors connected to the VT408 are configured in the same way as the sensors connected to the monitoring module.

Function

VT408 module is developed to expand the number of analog sensors connected to the monitoring system. Picture below illustrates the expansion example:

...

Normally 12V 0.5A external power supply is connected to the jack labeled PWR (point 2 in the general scheme). But if the only VT408 unit is connected and the length of the cable from the monitoring unit to the VT408 does not exceed 10m allowed the extension unit operation without any external power supply. In all other cases the use of an external power supply is desirable.
