  • Page 5: Initial Inspection

    Unpack and inspect the equipment as soon as possible. If there is any sign of damage or any parts missing, do not install the equipment before seeking advice from ViaLite Communications or your local agent. The equipment received should match the delivery note that is shipped with the equipment. If there are any discrepancies, contact ViaLite Communications or your local agent.
  • Page 6: Vialitehd And Vialite Classic Compatibility

    The RF and optical interfaces of most ViaLiteHD and ViaLite Classic modules are compatible. However the physical size, mounting systems and control of the modules are different, so it will not be possible to fit ViaLiteHD module in a ViaLite Classic chassis or housing and vice versa.

    HRK3-HB-8 V HD 3U CHASSIS ANDBOOK 4.3.2 Module bias feed It is possible to provide a bias voltage from the modules to connected devices. Dependent on module type, this can be either internally sourced from the module or provided via the “Power Concentrator” connector J4. The current limit is dependent on module type fitted. Alarm Management The alarm strategy on the ViaLiteHD system caters for all levels of Alarm and Monitoring System complexity from simple module failure LED indication, to local and remote end alarm notification and redundancy switching.
