Making System Alarm Connections
The EC9535 provides a system alarm that notifies you of a malfunction, such as when a fan or
power supply is not functioning properly. And alarm can be connected to an external alarm
indicator that displays visual cues when the alarm is activated. Grass Valley does not provide
external indicator equipment, but does provide instructions on wiring the alarm connections.
See
