Function and purpose

The unit is used for environmental monitoring (e.g. temperature, humidity, voltage, leakage, smoke, airflow). It is also used as an I/O controller (e.g. door control, fans, generator, control panels, UPS, circuit breakers, and alarms). Can use up to 1000 different elements - notifications, triggers, timers, logic schemes, sensors, dry contacts. Has a built-in Web interface with virtual sensors, logic schemes, different types of notifications, and control panels. Has a slot for an LTE modem.  Has the possibility to install an internal 2.5-inch HDD inside the case.  This is the fastest and most powerful Vutlan monitoring unit.

Two order options:

VT960i has only an x1 power inlet.

VT960ii has x2 power inlets, providing a redundant power supply for A&B power distribution.

• The LED blinks slowly - nothing is connected

• The LED blinks fast - configuration is in process

• The LED glows constantly - connected to CAN devices

    "LED: HDD" - green LED indicates 2.5" HDD or SSD status.

    "LED: ERR" - red LED indicates error and traffic.

• the operating mode of the device: If everything is normal, the LED is extinguished, if not - there's a constant glow;

•  software update mode: switches at a rate of 2 times per second;

5c. "LED: TX" - Modbus data sent activity (Transmission).

• "Orange LED" - orange LED for Ethernet port. It shows network traffic.

• "Green LED" - green LED for Ethernet port. It shows network traffic. Flashes green when the system starts up. Shows the connection state (constant green light - the connection is established, blinking green - the connection attempt).

8. "CAN DEVICES" - digital connector RJ12 for the connection of CAN sensors and CAN extensions on a CAN bus, with auto-sensing. Modules can be chained together. Read the instructions in "CAN devises connection", and "Setting up CAN".

9. Buttons

• 9a. "Restart" - the button restarts the appliance. Hold the button for 2 seconds and then let go, the system will restart.

• 9b. "FEL" - user-defined action button. This button is reserved for future functions. It is currently not assigned to any action. Any suggestion is welcome.

• 9b. "Shutdown" - softly shuts down the device. Hold for several seconds and then let go.
