Loss of Communications
Introduction
This section covers the functionality of the 8 Series Loss of Communications element.
The 8 Series device monitors activity on an interface via the configured protocol for this

If communications is lost, the enabled interface will issue a “Loss of Comms” event and
operate a combination of output relays / states.
