In order to indicate the status of the module’s working condition, 3
LEDs are provided:
STATUS - This LED will flash GREEN, every time the address
associated with the module is polled by the addressable panel.
When in normal operation (speaker not active) the analogue
value reported to the panel is 16.
FAULT- The YELLOW LED will be ON when there is a fault in the
module. If there is a FAULT condition the analogue value
reported to the addressable panel is 4.

the speaker is active. The analogue value reported by the
module in this state is 17.
