08 – MX Fault tolerant design VoCALL 16 is tolerant of a single fault on any communication loop. Calls are not impacted by single fault in the communication loop. It can also recover from simultaneous single faults on different communication loops. In case of multiple faults, subset of network not impacted by fault continues to operate as intended.

18.2 Routine daily check If the VoCALL 16 system is installed in a location where audible fault warnings could be unnoticed for more than 24 hours, a special check should be performed each day to confirm that the “System Healthy” LED is illuminated and LCD indicates ‘System OK’, or any faults that are indicated are receiving necessary attention.
Remember to update the next ‘Service date’ for the system after the check. 18.3 Non-routine From time to time, the VoCALL 16 EVC system may require non-routine attention, including special maintenance. Non-routine maintenance includes: 1. A special inspection of an existing system when a new organization takes over maintenance of the system.
