NOTE! When the switch is in the CPU OFF position, playback of the alarm messages recorded in the AutroVoice miniVES
memory does not work. The processor is bypassed. A direct connection between devices is created: microphone ampliers
loudspeakers. Microphone input is broadcasted to the entire system. Ampliers operate at maximum amplication –
be aware that this rises the SPL significantly.

A ashing yellow FAILURE LED means that one of VAS central unit elements or a loudspeaker line is damaged. On AutroVoice miniVES
devices and ABT-DFMS the system failure will be indicated by an acoustic signal. When the damage is signaled, press “conrm

be recorded in the event log). The failure LED goes out when the system failure is eliminated and “ cancelfailure” button is pressed.

A system maintenance technician or technical service must be notied of any damage immediately.
9.1.3 Controlling backup power batteries
