  • Page 103 Advent Communications As the codes on the exciter and Alteia don’t match at this stage, the Alteia will be unable to decode the transmission. However it will still be locked on the signal so the LOCK LED will be lit, the AUTHORIZED LED will flash and the ALARM LED will be lit. There will be no picture on the monitor (or freeze frame depending on the Alteia setting).
